All or Nothing
Everybody and everything is not a clear black and white scenerio. However, we tend to divide ourselves in our thinking philosophy. This is the time when we choose either the All or Nothing rule or the path of the "middle road". What the hell am I talking about "middle road"? What is All or Nothing? We as humans tend to think and try to limit our options to a yes or no scenerio. That is why we are most excited to a True/False type of questionnaires or exams and at the same time hesitate beyond imagination when posed with a lot of different solutions to solving our problems. Man is a thinking animal but at the same time likes to live in a world of dreams, a world full of aspirations not taking into consideration whether attainable or not. Why? Why is man not happy with what they have or what they are getting on a silver platter? We want more and dream of more. This makes me come back to my prior point. Why do some couples go for the All or Nothing syndrome while others go for the middle road of staying friends after a break up? Is one of them better than the other? Who is right in what they are doing? Is it a philosophy, is it a correct way to make that particular decision according to some guide lines? What is it that makes people choose a particular path? How can one person love someone and not talk or refuse to see their face after a breakup? Is it easier on mind, body and soul? You don't want to go back into that syndrome? Which syndrome you ask? You know well enough what the hell I'm talking about. You thinking from mind, heart or soul? Which should dominate in what scenerio? What are you trying to attain? Whats your goal? Whats your objective? What is your aim? What are you willing to give up and take for yourself? Are you the all or nothing or middle road? What makes you happy? Think!!!

it's interesting that your being "happy" or "right" phenomenon keeps surfacing in your posts. says a lot about a person i guess and the state of mind you might be in while writing something like this.
when you say "all or nothing" you officially negate any greys that might exist. Greys are very much there, it might look like there are only two extremes but extremeity of any sort will denote intense passion, in some places it might apply and some it just takes you down or makes you do the unthinkable.Vicious cycle really,we keep looking for direct answers and solutions yet very afraid to actually face them, secretly hoping that some grey woulkd surface and let us avoid the actual "all or nothing"
what makes you tick then.THINK!!!!

Seems you have changed some of the text i read in your grubby handwriting. Grey for most is the perfect sanctuary for the most on the canvas of life. All or Nothing is a path rarely followed by the risk averse. In many ways biting the bullet or being passive is a function of an individual's personality.
