Yes, I'm definitely a black and white thinker. My therapist, family, and friends have ALL said this exact phrase, "everything is black and white to you, but not everything is black and white, there's also gray". Makes me upset because I feel like the gray area never seems logical. For instance, if a friend is ignoring me, it's because they're upset with me. But not to gray thinkers, they will make excuses like, "maybe they lost their phone." To me, that is just naive thinking and it frustrates me. And yes, sure, maybe they did lose their phone but usually that's not the case.
If the world would resolve on "maybe" we wouldn't have made the progress we made thus far. I think a lot of progress made in history actually happened because of a sold yes or solid no. Of course, there's a lot of situations where no one knew the outcome, but still... it was a solid yes. A "maybe" stagnates any motion. It's like sitting around and keep wondering what might have happened.
I don't really understand nor care for metaphor of colors. My thoughts are just verbalized matters of thoughts. So I guess you have me as gray, but there are so many exceptions to it, that it's not that simple!
Oh, well. Even that I might have strong opinions over many matters and can be tough to been spoke out of those, I tend try to think things from many points of view until stating my mind aloud. And I've heard a lot that I'm indecisive - maybe while my thought process in still not ready, yes, but also after I have made my mind I am still open on discussing the other possibilities, because I have no reason to think I'd be reached the only one right conclusion.
I like to be able to speak about anything and no topic should be forbidden by some rule that can't be reasoned. Also, imho things just can't be discussed in an argumentative manner if we're not capable of creating hypothetical conclusions over things, even some that we don't see as best solutions at the time. I think it's just a sentiment of a person generally interested having a realistic view over life, world, not just some truths some people made up and of which I might not be even aware of.
I don't agree with moral-anything, as I find meaning of moral itself unfinished in every concept I've tried to understand it at. It doesn't mean that I'd be at discomfort and not knowing what to do in my life.
Feel free to execute me now.
Progress, perhaps, but arguably a much greater amount of regress. It depends on the conclusion that was reached, and HOW it was reached. But I think I get what you are saying, in that indecision usually results in "nothing" rather than "something.".
