Is there such a thing as perfect grey? Must grey be 50% black and 50% white? Can grey be too black or too white? Where to draw the line and who is to draw the line?
Am I being ridiculous at being overly precise? But is there such a thing as precise in the first place when everything is measured by humans. What is the yardstick for being precise? Human yardstick is never accurate, because there is human factor involved.
What is right in one person's perspective may not be what is right in another person's perspective. Durian to durian lovers tastes heavenly, but durian to durian haters smell like cow's dung. Poop to some people are just wastes, smelly and not a word to be mentioned in public, but to some people, poop can be used as a metaphor to describe thy love for thy blog fans and yet getting the blog fans high! How powerful is that?
People in this new age are less tolerant. Waiting more than 5 minutes in a fast food chain is considered inefficient and lousy service. Waiting for than 10 minutes for the train is considered inefficient and lousy service.
People are less forgiving nowadays. Non-response to emails within the hour is considered inefficient and lousy service. Yet, if you respond overly fast and in high quantity, you'll be labelled a spammer and risk being blocked.
It is so difficult to find that perfect shade of grey. Perhaps nobody is happy with grey. They probably prefer black or white. Yet again, there's a new trend, white pokka dots on black background. This hybrid indeed raises much eyebrows as it is trying very hard to tiptoe on the fence while denying the grey factor.
Well, life is difficult, isn't it?

you remind me of sophist thinking in your second para - "Man is the measure of all things". But let us not place too much emphasis on man, because he is not infallible. Rather, let's look to God for our example.
