Publisher’s note<br />
Is it Black or White?<br />
Many times, we see strictly black or white and not<br />
much gray. Then we age, and wisdom derived from<br />
knowledge (that is properly processed) creeps into<br />
our lives and allows us to see more gray.<br />
For information to be valuable, however, it must be properly<br />
processed and free of biases. We see examples of improperly<br />
processed information every day when people try to persuade<br />
us with inaccurate information.<br />
As we get older, we begin to understand that it’s not OUR<br />
thought process that has value; it’s seeing things from multiple<br />
points of view. Worldly messages, or even arguments, can<br />
contain valuable information if we can simply see them from the<br />
other person’s point of view.<br />
Wow, how wonderful it is to mature with time and see<br />
the gray in life. In today’s electronic age, we process so much<br />
information. With the constant presence of TVs, computers<br />
and cell phones, it’s almost impossible to get away from new<br />
information.<br />
In fact, trying to process it for value can take most of our<br />
waking day. Oh well, let’s do the best we can and try to see<br />
more gray.<br />
