There is no way, no how I could explain or dictate this thought in a short blog that would encourage comments. It would create mass confusion and do nothing productive. I will try another approach that hopefully with provoke internal thinking and external dialogue with others. Please comment to stimulate further thoughts and discussions. Just think.
Grey Area does not exist.
Okay, in areas of personal preference in subjective matters such as food flavors there can be grey because this is not a do it or don't do it, yes or no kind of arena.
But in discussions about most other matters there is no grey area. To say there is a grey area is in many ways a pass on really attempting to discover the black or white in a situation. From your point of view something could be "grey". But that does not mean that the black and white don't exist. That means you just don't know enough details or are not close enough to the situation to be able to see the clear line between black and white.
We were created in a world that exist in a balance. Things run and behave naturally. Our interactions with each other also exist in this world. There is a right and a wrong and black and a white. Truth is there. Your perception might not be able to discover the black or white easily but that does not mean that the black and white don't exist.

Physical example I felt didn't belong in the introduction.
Billy and me talking about a table and Cheryl and Meredith's apartment.
I introduced that the table had a defined length. Billy said you could measure that table to further and further decimals on and on and on for ever. I explained that you may be able to do that, but that only goes to show that your ability to sense or perceive the tables length is limited. The table has an exact length, we know that, you just can't tell me in your numbers the exact length. But I see the length with my eyes.
Then Jeremy brings up that the table, even as a solid, has moving molecules and elements and crystal structures making it a solid. Yes, true. I love Chemistry. But even in that there is a truth to how those elements and molecules behave and interact with each other. There is a natural pattern that they follow and exist in. That is the real truth of the length of the table.
The truth of the situation exist, sometimes it is just hard to understand the details that are showing us the black and white.
In a yes or no argument. To do something or to not do something. Is a certain act, right or wrong.
In this kind of discussion there is usually one person saying it is black. It is white. Usually the person saying that it is okay to do a certain act will finally announce themselves as the giving and understanding of the two in the argument and declare that compromise is the key. They announce some area of grey between the two. I feel that this announcement of grey is still black to the person pleading for white.
One drop of black makes the whole bucket of white pain grey and no longer white.
It is nearly impossible to make something grey white. Much easier to make grey into black.
