There is Danger!

Or is there? Yes, there most certainly is. And there will always be danger, regardless of what kind of preparations you make. Danger is inevitable and a key aspect of life. If there's one thing that will always exist (for the most part), it's danger.

If the universe is neatly split into 2 halves- Good and Evil, and you remove Evil, you'll still end up with Evil. The only difference is that now, the game is played by Good and Less-Good which is basically Evil (as it is not Good).

Replace Good and Evil with Safety and Danger, respectively.

If the universe is neatly split into 2 halves- Safety and Danger, and you remove Danger, you'll still end up with Danger. The only difference is that now, the game is played by Safety and Less-Safety which is basically Danger (as it is not Safety).

But the universe isn't split into two neat halves, is it? It's all one color that has ever-shifting hue that morphs at every angle imaginable (and unimaginable) as to defy rigid classification and such. As bizarre as that sounds, it's very likely because you'll always hear someone say "Well, it depends" and "Kind of sort of maybe" and varying phrases that echo that same sentiment of indecision and gray areas.

The universe is a wonderful dangerous gray area. My favorite shirt is gray and has holes in it.
