In Black and White

Us and Them.
And after all we’re only ordinary men.
-- Pink Floyd.

Why do we forget that the toughest ones among us are also, after all, humans? Why do we find accepting our human status so difficult? Who do we think we are anyway?
For we have an adam and an eve inside each one of us, however subdued. Who know only to listen to and do as per their instincts tell them. And instincts as quintessential as light.

And yet, for every one person who accepts and relates to human nature in its rawest element, there would be a hundred thousand condemning it blatantly. Branding it ‘beastly’.
But then, they are humans too. Only humans. And ordinary humans. They face their moments of truth too. And then, THE one has the last laugh. A laugh, not of derision. Merely of the conviction that they’re all, eventually, humans.

And in the end, it’s only round and round. And round.
-- Pink Floyd.
