Contradictions in life

Life is full of contradictions, which can make us go around in circles. Although our point of view and acceptance on these contradictions may differ, we do come across them every now and then. Ponder on these suggested ones. A fly on the south pole of a globe would be in an inverted position or in danger of falling off , yet would you face the same problem if you were acutally on the south pole ? Out in space would you have any sense of direction, up down, east, west.....? Then there are those we seem to have around us in the way we do and see things Days seem long but life and years seem short.. We talk about a balanced life, but yet spend 60-70% on it and large part of the remaining either sleeping or watching TV. Feel free to share any contradictions that may have had your head spin for a while.

Goodness me Alok! Talk about giving my brain a workout after a long week..... At this moment in time, all I can think of are contradictions with words - oxymorons. Dry Ice, Open Secret, Virtual Reality, Working Holiday..... Or one og my personal favourites - Act Naturally! Now how can we possibly be natural if we're acting??? Ooooh and an example which is probably very relevant to mylot and provided by us all at ine time or another.... An UNBIASED OPINION! Now is there and has there ever been such a thing?? lol. What I do wish to know though, is that if we were to dig down through the earth, at what stage would we stop digging down and actually start digging UP?? And how would that work anyways?? Would we end up falling backwards down the hole we dug DOWN in the first place once we reached the earth's centre??? Jeez, now I really DO feel like my head's gonna explode!

Yes, you have given some very good examples. There are paradox in our life and the angle of viewing certain things keep changing with circumstances and situations. In space one cannot tell about direction because on Earth (and it surroundings like sea or sky) it is necessary to know about 'direction'. Right now, cannot think of an example, like you have given.

That's ok Deepak .Thanks for the response. One can face the same situation in an ocean if the sun were not to guide us. Life does have a lot of contradictions.

Don't try deciphering just know about them. The more we think and try to decipher them the more we will come across.

Here in our country the contradictions that I see are the government officials who say that we should follow the law, that no one is above the law, etc. and yet they're the first ones to violate the law. Do they get punished for it? No, they stay in power and become more powerful than ever. The government officials here steal millions of dollars from the treasury of the government and yet they don't get jailed for it. But, when a poor Filipino steals a few hundreds of pesos or some equipment or the like he stays in jail for a long time before going into trial. And yet, we are the ones paying those officials their salaries. We are they're bosses because without the taxes that we are paying they won't have salariesand yet we can't fire them if they're not doing they're job well.

Always, I found contradictions authentic way to reach a person's basic ideas and the perfect opportunity to discover small spots of color, who did not know that there is in scenery that I've painted some time ago about him / her . If you give evidence of maturity and stay in place, you can watch the show developed from a constructive perspective. The screenplay is full of playful lines, the actors are grounded in the discussion, full of pathos speak and do not want than to go up in white canvas with endless discussion. Human play takes place the following conditions: a looming on the horizon lights and sharp eye combines air, resulting in a strange idea, contradictory. Follow the first steps towards Cup glory, you tickle the satisfaction of a well thought out and spontaneous responses.The other actor (opponent) Keep inferior and present their own beliefs, truths of life. Full intensity follows a period when suddenly ..... .... hide a smile coming up .... and realize that nothing was done lightly, you realize that you put both soul in that discussion .. . rather than you, but to discover more about the topic itself. Turn warm tone, words and feelings soul pencil borrowed heaven. It is a fierce need to communicate, socialize and push these things unconsciously or not, to contradictions. How everything has a purpose, so the contradictions should motivate a person to strongly support their views, but to start from the premise that in fact, to argue with someone does not mean to argue, to react impulsively . After all, the contradictions are only parallel lines, which should go on the lines of reason.
