Contradiction

Contradiction (September 30, 2014) by Danitra David I want… I want to save the world; yet I buy 1k shoes (contradiction) I really don’t believe in organized religion, but if I’m in a jam believe it is “In Jesus name Amen” (contradiction?) I like to believe I’m not racist, but I complain about feeling surrounded by only one ‘race’ (contradiction) I want to be understood, but do I seek to understand (hypocritical, contradiction). I long to have compassion for my fellow man’ yet at times I am literally disgusted by our connection (contradiction) I want to age gracefully; yet I want to change my face (contradiction) I want to lose weight, but I know I am perfect just the way I am (you guessed it contradiction) I want to paint. To try my hand at improve. I want to give my time. Travel, love, laugh. I doubt my capabilities knowing I can do most anything I set my mind to (contradiction). I dream of romance. I wish to ease other’s pain. I cry at movies. I hide this. I don’t perpetuate this, so do I really want? (contradiction) I could go on with dozens more examples. Life is one big contradiction. A state and we are all mere players blindfolded by bullshit! I want to see this as clear as day, yet ignorance may be bliss.

Danitra ,I do agree human life is full of contradictions (apparently). We should not lose sight of its real worth. We must meditate and introspect to be balanced in the mind in order to make a choice, ponder and evaluate correctly. HUGS!
