The Grayness of Youth

If there is black, there is white. If there is good, there is evil. This is what Yin and Yang tries to tell us. For everything, there is something that compliments it and acts as a counterpart. It is God who created this balance; however, why is there a color known as gray? Why is there something between?

According to some people gray color usually symbolizes neutrality, and ambiguity. If reffering to the term gray area, this color may also mean something that is unclear and something cannot be classified. Gray can be used to connote things that prefer to stay in the middle of two sides. Therefore, from what stated lately, do you appreciate this color?

In the view of foregoing, The youth of our country, the Philippine is turning “gray”. Whatever happen around us doesn’t seem to bother them. They tend to stay in the middle  of everything because they believe that being neutral is the best way to lessen the obtainment of cares that these sides have. Taking sides only means involving in and getting also the problem that the two sides are factoring.

Taking no sides may mean indifference or  being unconcerned. We believed that every person should participate and take his or her own stand. It is either joining the black or joining the white. Doing this type of action surely helps in proving that the youth are still eager to stand up and save the country. The country surely needs the youth’s help and participation especially in this time where we feel the economic crisis in almost every aspect of life. It is now the time to depart from the passive “gray area.

However, being gray is not always negative. If the youth choose to be gray, they take a stand in being neutral or they stand by themselves. Nobody can tell whether the youth’s decision, which is to stay unbiased or stay in the middle, turns out right. There is a possibility that they are keeping away froma side so that they can understand the real situation and ponder on right things to do.

So what have you decided to do? What do you think of that color? Don’t just Agree or Disagree with what was stated. Act now and keep the fire of the youth burning!
