What exactly is this picture of?
No, really try and figure it out with the view you have of it. What do you think?
It's just a black and white picture, so why can't you figure it out? What's missing? What aren't you seeing?

GRAY.
Did you have any idea what you were looking at? Maybe you looked at the top picture and did see a girl. Maybe you could tell that there are eyelashes in the picture. Or maybe you noticed strands of hair. But did you see her tears, her pain, her beauty? No, you did not. Because a black and white perspective only shows you a piece of what you could potentionally see.
This applies to life in many ways.
You cannot decide to view life one way. Every situation calls for a different perspective. Even if we were to add one shade of gray to this picture, we would not get the full effect since many shades contribute to the complete picture. Other people's perspectives can help us view life more beautifully. Don't allow yourself to be so close minded that you blind yourself from seeing the gray areas.
You may see a girl now, but you do not see her tears, her pain, her beauty.
I hope you think of this when it comes to politics, religion, or life in general. Do not decide what is wrong and what is right before looking at the situation in depth and taking other people's 'shades' into consideration. May you pray to have multiple perspectives and hope that when it comes to you, others do too.
