Life’s Shades of Gray
Time marches on, and the world constantly shifts. People come and go, leaving behind memories while new faces fill the void. Doors open, some close. There are moments of light, shadows, and darkness, all flowing with the steady beat of time. Each second that ticks by is different from the last.
Friends I once thought would be by my side forever have drifted away, chasing their own destinies. I’ve tasted the bittersweet reality of change. Long-lost friends have reappeared in my life, though the connection we once shared feels distant, almost ghostly. The echoes of our past selves hover over our interactions, reminding us of what once was. And those I thought were indifferent have, on rare occasions, shown me glimpses of unexpected kindness.

It unsettles me to witness this gray area in human nature. I struggled with the idea that people capable of cruelty could also be capable of kindness. How was I to reconcile that? Could I simply ignore the hurtful things they’d done? What did it say about how I judged people? At what point could I declare someone “good” or “bad” based solely on how they treated me? It felt like a slippery slope. Surely, even the worst among us have done something good at some point. But judging others only by how they affected me seemed narrow, even selfish. If everyone adopted that mindset, the world would be a much harsher place.

Ultimately, like everyone else, I have no definitive answers to these questions. Of course, those who cause harm must face the consequences of their actions, but beyond that, we grapple with these dilemmas as we navigate life. As for the people in my life and my past, I’ve come to realize I can no longer simply label them.

I agree with the thoughts of barrister Yasmeen as they are rationale and realiistic. The only point to add is the best revenge from your foes enemies and opponents is to forgive them and make friendship with them otherwise there would be no end of enmities and fights at all. First of all change yourself
and find faults on others. If you are determined to change others you are living in a fool’s paradize and nothing else. Kudos and shabbash to Yasmin!!
