[ Nuance ]

I’ve heard the word “nuance” more recently, in conversations, and, in my own head. 

The definition of nuance is given as “a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound”.  I guess the key there is ‘subtle difference’.  The (perceived?) usage increase, for me, is about the real nuance of some of the issues we’re currently dealing with as a society.

I might be using the word wrong, but to me, understanding the nuance of a position or situation, is to respect the fact that not everything is easily put into right/wrong or good/bad scenarios.

Subtle differences abound.
