black & white or just plain gray ?
It seems that there are various perspectives on life.
1. black and white
3. blach, white, and gray
2. color
I'm not really sure about the color one, but i know it has to be in there. in the moral color spectrum there is black and white with one being good and the other being bad. of course, if something is in between we consider it gray, with the tone or shade being set by just how close it was to being more good or bad.
i am not sure why we can't use color. i suppose it is because right and wrong are seen as absolutes and have been labeled then on the color or light spectrums as those colors or lights which contain all color or all light or no elements of color or light.
if we used other colors (e.g. red, green, blue, yellow, etc.) on our so called "moral spectrum", then what would the represent. it seems like you would need something besides just right and wrong on the moral spectrum in order to pull the moral point away from the line in between black and white and make it a 3 dimensional model (or 2-d depending on your point of view).
again, what else is there besides right or wrong and everything in between. i mean the other things would have to be completely different wouldn't they? of course, white seems to be encompasment of all light (when discussing the light spectrum), and so it would stand to reason that their would be other things that fall within the moral compass outside of the black and white that could be summed together to give white.
that is there could be other elements which would be represented by a blue or red for instance which when added up would combine to give you right or white.
but what are these other things?
