THE GREY AREA
In the simplest form, we learn that good is good, and bad is bad. The good are rewarded; the bad are punished.
We believe we live in this absolute order, finding comfort in the simplicity of judgement. But as we move through life, we come to see that nothing is truly black or white.
The hero stumbles and the villain has reason. Right and wrong blur into a fog of circumstance and consequence. In The Grey Area, we find ourselves torn between what we know and what we feel: the rules we learn and then exceptions we encounter.
We forage through The Grey Area, questioning our truths. Why do good people do bad things? What do bad actions lead to good outcomes?
In the Grey Area, we grow and decide. Not just with certainty, but with understanding.
