How much charcoal gelato can you eat?
This was inspired by a session of solo gelato on a hot summer day
I have always lived in the grey area, and I like to believe that the world is not so black and white. But what happens when I live in black and white? Life feels so bleak, and I do not believe that people truly live there because it is unfathomable.
People’s perception of black and white varied, and the laws varied, so how should we know? There is no ultimate rightness in our world, but maybe there is one in our own conscience.

Do no harm to others, but in doing so, people still harm others. Our definition of sin is based on our limits, so how do we know we cross another’s limit? I believe that how one nitpicks forgiveness describes their own quality of life.
I am no judge of others since I am a mere mortal, but I believe that another soul cannot salvage or mend the lesser soul in another. People love to pitchfork the sinner, yet they themselves sin in doing so.
My findings in life have clouded my spiritual belief. Hence, when people act a certain way, I have always believed that it is due to their journey, how far they are able to search in life, and how much they are willing to absorb their findings, no matter how much of an abomination the fact is.
Facts are odd, because what we learn often makes us believe or lose our belief, but what we can always find is a new fact that supports or negates our arguments. And sometimes facts teach us how to accept our disbelief.
I have understood that living is being comfortable with ourselves and with others. It is an inseparable unit. There will always be an uncomfortable turn, but how much grey you are willing to enter will be the key to your answer.
