Always two, never more

Face it. The world is more black and white than we ever care to believe. Sades of grey are merely specific combinations of black and white. When you get right down to it, the world operates in binary.

Binary, two options, yes and no, on and off, good and evil, whatever you want to throw in its place it's still true. Whenever you are presented with one option in life, there's always the yang, the opposite.

The ability to not.

You have two choices: do something or don't. Deal with a problem or don't. Live or Die. They're always open to you. Of course, depending on your answer to any number of questions presented to you in life there's always the follow up questions. Let's run through an example with our friends Q and A, shall we?

Q: What do you want out of life?

A: That's not the correct first question. "Do you want something out of life?" is the most basic.

Q: Alright.

A: Yes, I want something out of life

Q: Is it rational or irrational?

A: Rational

Q: Then I may assume that it is selfish?

A: Of course

Q: Do you want to get this something inwardly through only yourself or outwardly through all the world has to offer viewed through the portal of self?

A: Through the world

Q: Will you glean what you wish to get out of life from one source?

A: No, I will use many

Q: Do you wish to find it in the body or the mind?

A: I wish to find it in the spirit

And thus color is brought to the world.

I really enjoy the way you write. You don't just state the plain obvious, you make me think in a different perspective.
