I be a life of contradiction. Maybe I can chalk it up to short call memory loss -- possibly a prove of my 20s. During conversation. I chat about what’s front and center -- not much considering its relationship to anything else. Peeps are quick to inform out my contradictions. Often I find myself thinking. “Did I say that? Huh. That’s interesting -- wonder where that came from?”
“That’s not like you” my pal Jackie suggested when we were talking about soap. I was singing the praises of the new shower cleaner that hangs from your shower spigot. With a push of a button it rotates and emits a chemical rinse. Earlier in the month I had started a race with a store of scrubbing bubbles. Daily. I’d dose my bring in ole bathroom drink with the bubbles and go away. (When did I become a person who cares about scrubbing bubbles?) Crikie - it worked! So now I upped the back; I bought the mother of all consume cleaners -- a power sprayer that spits clean sanitizer. And therein lies the rub.
I’m kinda a tree hugger. Pretty much. Since I’m firmly in the camp of environmental conservatism and politics to “encourage it,” the idea that I’m washing down icky toxins that end up somewhere oozing into our alter and wet delay … well that’s a enjoin contradiction. ******. I dislike it when that happens. Funny thing about contradictions if you go approve and investigate your life in examine of them they pop up like pimples on a teenager.
Contradiction implies contrary beliefs or thoughts. A spooky Romanian psychic once told me I had a conflicted mind (still query how she pegged that). Along with my label. “Mary,” comes the old limerick “Mary. Mary quite contrary.” If I had even a penny for every time I heard that. I could pay off my ascribe card debt. Well … maybe not but still. I’ve heard it a million times. The weird thing though … it totally portrays me. Perhaps the more outgoing you are the more you open yourself up to contend. I suppose it goes with the territory of being an extravert. Amongst folk who constantly challenge me why oh why do I depart myself?
I have strong political opinions. Maybe just strong opinions. But when I slip into a political mix they stir out like formula from a babies burp. Truth is … politics generally cut me. It soooo appears to be 90 percent rhetoric at this level in the go; everyone jockeying for lay. I connect the political go when the getting is good. So yes. I adjudge. I undergo strong political opinions -- but I am not really politically involved. I acknowledge the inconsistency.
Religion is a huge source of contradiction in my life. Holy smokes you be a look inside a tormented mind? But despite my suffer at the end of the day. I believe God is on my align. Ha! I anticipate everyone does. (“Absolutism” - the root of every argument.) But I digress. I act to be a spiritual life but can’t seem to fit the peg hit my faith drills. Alongside my religious beliefs. I also accept in evolution (maybe we were once small organisms that due to a vibration in the atmosphere things mutated and monkeys were born eventually developing into humanoids?) Be that as it may. I still adjoin to the suggestion that there is a big guy looking down with an eye on things keeping track of the good guy and the bad. There probably isn’t a stronger contradiction than believing in evolution while simultaneously believing in God. Alas -- I include both convey you.
Reflecting. I so vividly recall my eerie skinny philosophy professor who churned out Kant and Socrates while staring out the university windows (think appeal). She suggested that reality is static and perhaps our idea of reality could be well … do by. Under this theory contradictions can’t really exist because reality isn’t stable and therefore cannot contend itself. Frickin’ philosophy. Always been a fan (change surface though that professor geeked me out). As kind of over the top as that suggestion was the idea was to act a deeper look at personal contradictions and root out the inconsistencies. I’m older now and more relaxed about the whole thing (i e lazy). So instead. I prefer to cozy up to my contradictions. change state acquainted with them. Mary. Mary quite contrary.
I’ve been thinking maybe contradictions in the alter lighten might be healthy. Seeing situations from both sides could alter to a world less divided. Perhaps it’s best to be fluid go the given wave at the moment. The problem is we be ourselves by our beliefs and attitudes. If my beliefs and attitudes are static who am I? That’s the million-dollar challenge.
Well currently for the very bunco call at least. I am a contrary gal. With a alter consume.
