To me this verse is saying first of all we are not suppose to swear by anything at all. Second i think it is saying it is not within our power to change our hair color. God gave us what he wanted us to have.

Mt 5:36
"...,because you can not make one hair white or black"

This is my testimony.
Without reason God put me on terrible suffer for about seven days. I was completely devastate. Even I spent all my money on some stupid medications that did no help. Then without a visible reason the pain disappeared and some money I even forgot came. All this is happening in seven or eight days.
For all that time the only thing I could do is to pray from the deepest point of my heart and soul and mind.
The point of all this is that when I see a comment that GOD is good I feel a little resistance.
The GOD OUR LORD is almighty, that is my attitude. GOD can be good, GOD is certainly righteous, but from an angle of a single person GOD can be terrible.
Concerning GOD all we can do is to pray and Jesus Christ our savior and leader told us how.
I SEEK FOR YOUR KINGDOM AND YOUR JUSTICE, AND ELSE SHALL BE ADDED
