I heard and saw so many things that proves we are living unfortunately in a paradoxical society, One that doesn’t know where it is going, but believes it is going the right way, just an overview of the whole case, what made me write about this is a friend of mine who we sat together yesterday with a bunch of other friends, he is the most humble and funniest person I have ever met, but down deep his personal life he is the saddest person because of the problems he has in life.
We think of funny people, such as comedians and clowns, as being natural happy and good humored people. But in my friend’s case I think that humor is used as a defense mechanism against darker emotions and mask deeper issues which is strangely odd , and this ain’t mean the opposite because sometimes it depends on the person’s background, education, the environment he grew up in, and the people he hung out with.
This is just one example of a paradox in real life but there are so many other living examples, for instance; success comes from improvement and the latter comes from failure, Thomas Edison the light bulb inventor as an example, he made 1000 unsuccessful attempts before getting it right. Another example of paradox is the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know; the more you understand the more questions you create.
Also, the more we are afraid of something, the more it likely happened. And the more available something, the less we will want it, and there are so many more.
In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
