How do you see the world?

Do you see the world in black and white (completely true and completely false, or completely right and completely wrong), or do you see it in shades of grey; whether in "science vs. religion" or "liberal vs. conservative" or other issues.

I see the world as if watching an old episode of the Batman tv series from the sixties and seventies:

Slightly tilted. :)

I see it in colours, but since that wasn't an option I put Shades of Grey. :p

I think a better question might be, do you see the world, or do you just react to the fantasies in your head?

Where's the "there is no black and white" option? :P

I see the world in colour strangely enough.

Sometimes, you can do both at the same time. :)

but the fantasies are much more fun and interesting ::grins::

ok, I'm a writer, but on a serious note.

I do think there are black and white distinctions to most things, greys are only created by people wanting to justify more and more things. The amount of greys in society grow in proportion to the amount of corruption and selfishness.

Through my own two eyes.

But shades of grey too.

That's a good point ;)
The world is just shades of grey with one shade blending into another. i guess if you try to simplify things then it can be black and white. But to do that you have to ignore the complexity of Life.

Niether, I'm not colour blind.

Most everything is grey, but then again, I could just be snowblind or live in a dusty house.

I see the world in shades of orange.

I see the world as a rich combination of turquoise veins, deep blue clouds, crimson waves and glistening white sands.

I see the world as grubby grey, but seek to persuade people to make it all a deep, rich black.

Relativism may be how it is, but not necessarily how it should be.

Shades of grey, but some things are greyer than others.
