Well, if your world was all black, and then your world was all white
Well then you wouldn't get much color out of life now, right?

Meaning

‘A black and white viewpoint often creates artificial ‘needs’ in our life that lead to disappointment and depression,’ continues Handel, adding that the cognitive-based psychotherapist Albert Ellis called one example of this ‘musterbation.’ ‘This is our tendency to think that we must have something, or we must do something, or life must be a certain way – or it will be awful.’"
Black & White Thinking kinda' sucks
