Seeing in Black & White

I have always seen thing in black and white. No I am not color blind but what i mean i tend to view things as being either one way or the other with little or no middle ground. I think part of this is just the way God has wired my mind. I am really good with math and sciences so I tend to think very straight forward. Something is either right or wrong and being close doesn't count. 

This way of thinking sometimes can make things difficult. I think this is the reason that things like writing papers are so hard for me. I never know when I'm done. There is no formula to follow so that when you have completed steps one two and three you are done and you make an 'A'. There are no definite lines that say this is what is right and this is what is wrong. I get frustrated a lot writing papers because I never know when it is good enough. I could keep working and tweaking forever and never get it "right".

There are a lot of times where I think that this black and white view of things may be making me too close minded. Maybe it is keeping me confined in a box and I need to step out of it and view things in a new way. But this isn't to say there are not definant right and wrongs. That truth is decided by God. But maybe there are somethings that can be subjective and I just am to closed minded to realize it. 

This probably doesn't make any sense but it is just what was going through my head.
