Life is Binary

I was thinking about all those decisions that we make in life. You do something or you don’t. It seemed to me that everything is really shades of grey but there are so many decisions that are stark.

Life is about nuance. If you live it as black and white you miss out on the full range.

Binary is only two options but we have an infinite number of possibilities.

I can never make my mind up but then I go and do something really impulsive without thinking.

Yet so much is a choice between two options.

We’d better make sure we make the right decisions.

This poem was a bit of fun.

Life is Binary

 

Life is binary

Yes or no?

It’s black and white

Don’t you know?

 

Plus or minus?

Is or isn’t?

Stop or go?

Lord or peasant?

 

Binary is good

Off and on,

Shut or closed

Silence or song

 

I’m in two mimnds

Dark or light,

Hot or cold,

Fight or flight.

 

Life is binary

Tasty or bland,

Boring or fun

Ordinary or grand.
