paradox

Paradoxes are not just trivial occurrences that happen to everyone. For whatever purposes they may serve, there are and must be lessons behind these paradoxes that we encounter in our lives. . A paradox is like a conundrum. Every incident of paradox leaves a puzzling remnant that needs to be unraveled and it requires a number of nerves in the hypothalamus to shiver ending up a good answer to the puzzle. The same way with life, it necessitates someone to undergo the what we call introspection for him to realize the lessons of paradoxes. 

Life has full of paradoxes. In our everyday life, we may encounter different and bizarre paradoxes. You might have been a demonstrator who is against the American capitalist but teach English in school or you might have hated wearing pink since you were a kid but now most shirts on your wardrobe are pink. Maybe you think that fermented rice has a very appalling smell but when you are on your dining table you are hypnotized by it then eat it selfishly like no more tomorrow. You may have promised yourself not to wear shorts in your entire life because you have not good legs or you may have thighs like logs but when you are away from your place or residence you wear skimpy shorts as if it is running out of some piece of clothing. You said you don’t love your ex-boyfriend anymore but secretly and intimately date with him every other day. You even incessantly buy expensive stuff knowing that your parents only earn enough for your meals three times a day. Even in movies, paradox is immanent. Look at those rags to riches movie theme or think of Robin Hood stealing for the benefit of the poor? You can read in newspaper an addict turned priest in a church. And many more…


Do you have the same story? To what story do you consider you are most likely akin to?
