Being Grey

There is a general tendency in people for being grey. It might be exciting to people to seem to be someone different. For some others, ‘being grey’ would be just another natural course.

Some people say that one can judge a person from his/her face/eyes. But such judgments may not prove to be right most of the times. Nowadays, it is easy for people to fake expressions; to wear a mask and seem to be someone else. At the same time, someone may judge someone to be a troublesome or problematic person from his or her looks, but the person would be a happy-go-lucky person in real! Such paradoxical elements are very common in today’s world, and it shall be treated just as a natural course.

But ‘Being Grey’ is phenomenon that had been present in the society since centuries or since ages. It is natural to not to open out the turmoil in one’s mind and seem to be someone different. It was not because hamlet had less love for his father that it took him time to take revenge on the person who killed his father. It was just a natural phenomenon of the human mind, which is well explained by the Shakespearean dilemma ‘to be or not to be’. Also, as said in ‘Macbeth’, just because all that glitters is not gold, gold cannot seem to be different. Just because Evil wears the mask of Good, Good cannot seem to be different. It can also be said the other way round.

What I feel is that there is an art in being grey. It might even give rise to a debate: ‘The Art of Being Grey - Good or Bad?’ Being grey is fun to a limited extent, but may prove to be detrimental to the the society, if the limits are crossed!
