Magic, Really a black and white issue?

Magic. The means to change something which through conventional means would be impossible. Many have seen it depicted in movies, video games, tv shows and other works of fiction. But what is it really. Is it really sparkles of engery that transforms one thing or another? The ability to shoot lightning from your fingertips? sounds unnatural huh? Magic isn't unnatural. It is nature's energy. To get the most of magic, one must work with nature, not against it. No doubt you've heard the terms "white magic" and "Black magic". Usually white magic is defined as spells and rituals that are performed for the benefit of others with no intent for the self and no wish to harm others. Conversly, black magic is the term given for rituals performed for personal gain. For harm of others and other selfish ends.
It is interesting to note most practictioners of magic will claim to use only white magic, as enemies of magic claim all practice black magic. The truth is, no one practices magic for completely selfless reasons. Who wasn't happy with making a friend happy? Who hasn't taken pride in a successful working? We all get some kind of gratification from it, no sence in denying it. So, is magic completely white? Doesn't seem like it can be. Can it be completely black? Well, to muster enough energy to kill, one must really hate the intended victim for a successul working, to muster such hatred, one must either be a close minded fool inwhich case it could be black, or if there was a gross injustice played on the part of the victim.
