Contradiciton...

Ok, so I know I just finished my other post but Bitches Brew got me thinking, like it always does, so I had to post a quick something about the amazing contradictions that are in our everyday lives. Real quick.

Contradiction:

a :  logical incongruity

b :  a situation in which inherent factors, actions, or propositions are inconsistent or contrary to one another

Straight from the Merriam-Webster, right? But think about how many contradictory things you notice everyday. Example, the universe (or multiverse) contradiction. Think about this, the known universe is currently millions of light-years in radius, and more is being discovered everyday. Then think about how irrelevant your life is in terms of the universe. Shit, even planet earth has billions of people with people being born and dying every day. So this makes you feel useless huh? Then think about the people you have encountered in your life time, the people you have directly effected their lives. The countless people you still have to meet and encourage and pick up. Your life isn't pointless in that aspect, right? This contradiction is the perfect thing to keep people humble and confident at the same time, right?

Or think about knowledge, right? If you know about my infatuation with Socrates you know my favorite quote of his is about how he was wise because he knew he knew nothing. But he was still one of the smartest men living in his time (can be debated but don't kill my vibe). 

Or think about the darkness in the world. Every day people get raped, murdered, cheated, etc. But think about the potential to change, and all the good people can do if they put their mind to it! I would hate to live in a perfect world, then nobody would know pain. But to live in a society that is working to actually clean up the bullshit that we live in right now? I would love that!

These contradictions that just happen, the angel and devil on your shoulder and everybody's shoulder in the world, these are the things that make life worth living. Sorry to say, I personally believe if you make too many deals with the devil you get placed back here in a worse situation, but if you make these right moves your energy gets to go on and do what only the creator knows. 

Embrace the contradictions, man. Understand them, observe them, study them because at the end of the day they're all placed there by the universe and there's nothing that you can do about them. The more you know about them the more you can use them to your advantage.

If anybody has any examples I'm down to listen to some because I think it's one of the coolest things ever. Stars turn to black holes, carcasses turn to oil, even shit turns to fertilizer lmao. It's the way of the universe man. Damn whoever made this place is amazing. All praise to The Creator.

 Ok, I'm done now. Just had to let that one out real quick. Comment, question, criticize. Do so with respect.

Just my thoughts.
