Shades of grey are good for you

"Life wouldn't be quite so difficult
if we didn't make it so"
I ran into a client this morning who is one of those guys, I would describe as a person who sees things in black and white. By that I mean, he believes he has all the answers and there is no deviating on anything in his beliefs. He feels quite superior in his beliefs and greatly dislikes those who have too many grey areas in their lives.
I problem that I see, is that he is more stressed out than most people. Being right all of the time must take a toll on his mental well being. Quite a load to carry around, I'm thinking.
Those who can see that others are entitled to a different view point seem to me to be happier and much easier to be around.
Of course it makes sense to have strong core beliefs if you desire to be a moral person. And defending your strongly held position is the right thing to do. However, opening your mind to someone else's differnt perspective will get you more friends.. and less heart attacks!
