It’s actually a very good place to ‘visit’ from time to time, at least, especially if it’s not readily available to you in day to day life.

The grey area helps you see each of the two extreme sides around you without committing to them. You can make a new idea that may incorporate parts of both sides.

You can learn a lot in the grey area, both about yourself and others.

“Black or white” thinking is actually called “catastrophic thinking” by some, because your response to a situation can be so overly emotional and be done in a ‘burn-your-bridges’ type way, leaving you NO room for a calm assessment of what’s going on.

So, grey is good in many cases. (Though of course sometimes a person may not have time for it, like deciding to rescue a swimmer or something. Then you’d want to act fast!)
