Life’s Many Contradictions And Why We Fail Without Them

My non-scientific approach to my life’s whacky contradictions

I rather DIE than eat that way they say.

Sink or swim!

To receive, you must give!

Life throws us many contradictions to test us. To test us on what’s important. On what matters.

“Humans live peacefully with contradictions precisely because of their capacity to compartmentalize.”

As we go through life, we live by opposite views points pulling us in different directions.

These contradictions make us human. These contradictions make me, me.

I’m an ADD, introvert with a Type A personality.

In reality, all three of these personality types are a contradiction of themselves.

Aggressive type A personalities are typically extroverted. Not me. I’ll punch you in the mouth. Yell and scream. And then go seclude myself in a hot bath for hours to regenerate.

People with ADD are classified as bouncing off the wall from one task to another, yet, I get more done in 4 hours than most people get done in 8.
