"We are the heros of our own stories."--I don't know who said this, or if I said it, but it popped into my head the other day, and I realized that I completely forgot about the gray areas. I've been focusing too much on the black and white, both in life and in my writing, that I forgot that everything is a shade of gray.

Except in comic books, because the villain always wants to take over the world for some unknown reason and is always screaming "We're the bad guys! We need to beat the good guys!"

This is why kids only see good and bad when they're little, because they're not taught to see the gray areas.
