Today at work I got into an email argument with my one friend. It happened right before 5 pm and it has LITERALLY been in my head all night. I think I was just having a hard time explaining the thought process of bipolar and he was having an equally hard time understanding it.

He simply could NOT understand how I could so dramatically lose sight of "right and wrong". Doing the "right" thing should just be a foregone conclusion, no? I've always been ruled by my feelings, I suppose it's one of my big weaknesses. And I said that doing the right thing just for the sake of doing the right thing simply because someone told me it was the right thing to do seemed shallow and disingenuous if my heart doesn't mean it. Not only that, but if we're being honest my view of "right and wrong" can be a bit flimsy depending on what kind of mood I'm in.

I find myself dealing with dramatically "black and white" people more and more. My husband being one of them. And it's driving me even further crazy. In my view, everything is gray, nothing is clearcut or easy, everything has a deeper explanation that I just guess I'm not nearly smart enough to articulate. I'm sure you come across people like this. How do you deal with them? And what if you happen to be married to one?
