Acceptance to the State of Grey

A Story by Chhawi

Haven't we all gone through situations in life where we question things? Where we ask ourselves if something is right or wrong? Grey is the state of mind where things seem blur to us, when nothing seems to be right and nothing seems to be wrong. Where we end up asking so many questions that our mind starts processing way more faster than its capacity, and we start losing our balance in life.

We always try to escape from this state at the thought of getting caught in the tangled feelings and tangled answers. But the state of grey is more than just questioning our-self or the system, it leads to change, to awareness, to freedom, to lead us to the path that protects us from feeling sorry for our-self. It can lead us to a place which is clearer than the sky and peaceful than the water flowing through the rivers only if we are smart enough to ask the right questions and brave enough to tackle them honestly.

We will often get judged by our choices or by the answers we give during this journey. That's how life is, but should we really stop taking the high risk roads or stop asking the questions to ourselves? We all should be aware of the simple fact that change is what the World needs and change is what we need in order to live a better life. At the end its our choice if we only want to keep asking these questions and just be the person on the other side of a broken bridge who gave up and accepted that the bridge is beyond repair or we want to be the ones who are brave enough to search for the answers and ready to risk everything to repair that bridge. And if we know what we need to do or what we have to do, it doesn't matter who will support us or who will be on our side because then we will be our own master and we will never be afraid of the State of Grey.
