Black, Grey and White

I have a strange flight of ideas today and the following occured to me when i was showering!

As much as i want to see everything in a simplistic black or white manner, stimes the existence of grey just cannot be ignored.

(1) Strengths and weaknesses are relative
It occured to me just now that ur strength to a person might be a total weakness to another. For example, being eloquent and vocal might be seen as a gift or talent to many but to a person who is looking for just a quiet listener, the vocal person might not do that well. Cos a thousand well chosen words strung together will never equate to the silent company the person is looking for. On the other hand, a man of few words, which commonly not really seen as a talent, might do a perfect job :)

In a way, can i say a strength is a strength only when it is in demand? Weakness can become a strength when it is in demand?

(2) Unconditional Trust
I realise that i trust some people unconditionally and when they make mistakes, the first thought that usually comes to my mind is: no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Am i too trusting or am i deceiving myself sometimes?

(3) Flexible complement
The word complement is often linked to the idea of a 'perfect fit' but how possible is it to find one? When u think of the art of cooking, the mixing of flavours is very often a subtle affair. I believe whether something fits or not isnt a rigid thing. Just like how different fragrances and tastes amalgamate, it is the end product that matters more! If things are often taken on an apparent level, some perfect matches will never be discovered.



Then again, it becomes complicated if u consider whether a match is perfect or not is subjective.

Above 3 of just food for thought for everyone to share :) Do tell me if u like or agree with any of them!

Perhaps all these will make sense when i do find out that a perfect fit does exist.
