But a mind that thinks only in B&W is like a society living under martial law.

Firstly, it's an appalling waste of effort.
Secondly, it's no fun at all.
Somehow we need to stand down from red alert.

So I guess the conclusion is that B&W thinking is a form of anxiety.
Reduce the anxiety and the colours will come back.

That's what I'm hoping.
I have been musing and honestly I'm just not understanding. I'm confused how this is linked to anxiety. B&W thinking is very easy and comes naturally to me, I have a very rational and logical mind.
