For me it's all about balancing. Knowing when and how to use the good and the dark. I don't personally believe that you reach your full potential if you can't embrace the darkness with the light. So embracing the fact that we have a darker side and knowing how and when to use it is what being a grey witch is to me.

My grandma always said you can't heal if you can't curse. I do hexes first but if you push me, I can curse. And I'm running out of room in my fridge for the jars that are in there - I had to start labeling them to remember who they are! But I figure if I can't remember who the jar was for, it is working!
I like to observe nature. During the most sunny days, the brightest moments, that's when you have the darkest shadows. Similarly, if you want to star gaze, the best moment is a new moon night preferably in a place with no other light source. One cannot exist without the other. To begin to grasp the universe and everything, I think you need that perspective. Light cannot exist without darkness and vice versa. It's the daoist principle of yin and yang, always moving, always changing but always having two complementary sides.
In my understanding of things, that's how we live in differents lightings, sometimes lighter sometimes darker, and that's why I percive myself as grey. Because I am just human, sometimes I will be good and selfless and caring and sometimes, according to the circumstances, maybe I will need to be tough or make difficult choices or just be bad because from my perspective it will be what I have to do in order to protect someone I love...
Like ThCryptWitch said, it's about balance
