When Black is White

Early this morning I was having a dream and a point I was trying to make became clear.

The gash on my finger started to burn and burn.

Now it's fine. It's already healing.

The point was so clear in my dream and now it's fuzzy. I hate that. I was full of conviction this morning. Now, not so much.

Things just will never be black and white. They're always fuzzy.

Maybe they're only fuzzy on a conscious level but subconsicously, things are clear. Someone on the inside is keeping track of why we say what we say and do what we do and sets up scenarios so that we face these situations until we can consciously understand the motivation behind our behaviour - I think.

Yes, that makes it clear as mud.

Which brings me to my next point.

So many things are happening in the world that I don't have a clear opinion on.

Top ones at the moment are Julian Assange, the weather girl and her false police report, Ryan and Scarjo calling it quits.

I know, the last one doesn't quite rank up there with international espionage and racist accusations. But, still, it registers somewhere.

Julian Assange - My opinion actually is pretty clear. Endangering innocent lives is never cool, but this thing is so much bigger than the sum of its parts. The truth about why wars are waged needs to be exposed.

What I'm fuzzy on is this. The Julian Assange story has been covered by the so-called "liberal" media, which I have on while I'm doing the laundry, washing dishes, whatever. I'm only listening with half an ear. From listening to the "liberal" media's take, he seemed like a bad guy. Having looked into it further, I can see he's not bad at all. He's crazy courageous. He's standing up to the gangsters who make decisions out of pure greed, pay for them with our money and threaten us to stop looking in their direction or we'll be sorry.

Julian Assange is my hero, but the "liberal" media make him out to be of questionable intent, at best.

The weather girl - At first I wasn't sure what to think. I was veering toward thinking, who does this? Don't go to the police with a crazy story, insult a whole group of people and drain police services that could be used for legitimate purposes. She had detectives escorting her to flea markets and restaurants ...

But then I read the details and can see how she got herself into this crazy mess.

She was having problems in her relationship and wanted to garner sympathy, and so told this story that made her appear vulnerable. When she shared it with people at work, they told her to go to the police and there it went. Now she's been arrested. Nightmare.

Emotions can be dangerous. But they also make us human - fuzzy, fuzzy.

Nothing's black and white.

Even black and white aren't black and white. I always thought black is all colors and white is the absence of color, but apparantly black is a color sometimes and not a color other times. Same with white.

If even black and white aren't black and white, how can we ever hope for clarity in any scenario?

Is it because we only need clarity when pitting this against that and in the end, we're all part of the same whole, and so black is white and white is black?

Like that episode of Gilligan's Island when they went into a cell-splitting machine and Gilligan became Skipper and Skipper became Gilligan?

Who needs clarity when we're all one?

Ryan and Scarjo - Why don't people listen to the Al Green song, "why do people break up, then turn around and make up, I just can't see, you'd never do that to me ...let's stay together, loving you forever, whether times are good or bad, happy or sad ..." Ryan and Scarjo are going to get together with other people and face the same issues they didn't work through that pulled them apart.

But, karma is karma. All that happens is good. It's for our growth. I know a higher power is watching me and has some good stuff in store.

I hope I've earned some good karma. Have I?

What good karma have you earned? What are you amazed you have in your life?

Let me know - it makes me feel good when you write to me. But don't be mean about the Julian Assange thing - we're all entitled to our own opinion!
