Wilson's bar...the grey room

Ever had the feeling of being in-between? Grey people do. I guess i do too. But who are these Greyesians?
Greyesians are people who has been in BlackLand for too long a time, yet, realised that in their heart that they are from the White Kingdom, and longing to go there too.
To be sure, BlackLand is a place where people comes first. There are just so much benefits, tax cuts, high pay, cheap entertainment, the good life. The place where there are really money coming down from the sky. More and more people are migrating over to BlackLand, and with their everystrong population and increasing birthrate, BlackLand has become the world's standard for living the good life.
In contrast (a sharp one at that), the White Kingdom tells its citizens that they must work hard, and earn their living. No get-rich-quick scemes here, no liberty at times even, although the Governor stress that a life of dependance on the Government, perserverence, hardwork would eventually reward everyone, and eventually a ticket and passport to the Golden Highlands, where there are really streets of gold.
There are many who couldn't stand the way of life at the White Kingdom, and eventually would want to either migrate to BlackLand or to go there for a long vacation. On their journey over (or even the opposite, where people from BlackLand gives up their citizenship and migrates over to the White Kingdom), they have to stop at the grey room. Some stayed only for a short while, others longer.
Both worlds mix at the grey room, you can get a glimpse of both kingdoms. Some would remember and long for the days when they were at the BlackLand; while some would,driven by strong idealogy, be on their feet, ready to go over to the White Kindom. Most of the people, on the other hand, just couldn't make up their mind. Everything was so great at BlackLand, so nice, but somehow it seems that the people at the White Kingdom live lives fuller, happier, contented...
Welcome to the grey room. Which way are you heading?
