"Humans by nature want to make the world a grey situation but 
it could be very easily black and white if we [wanted] it to be."

So who gets to define that black and white you mention so easily? 
You? Your religious leaders or inspiration? Your political party 
of choice? What gives any of them a greater right to define those 
absolutes than anyone else?

You can argue that moral relativism sucks, and in practical 
application I might sometimes agree, but the absolutes it would 
seem often get proposed are based on belief, and belief is 
subjective and quite individual.


 [ed. note: Also, I think psychologists claim the opposite, that
 human nature crave for a clear black-and-white understanding of
 reality. This gives us safe borders and we don't have to think
 very much.]
