What variety is to life, contradiction is to the mind.

    Surely this must depend on whether the mind is open or closed and whether the life welcomes variety?

    I have a lot of variety in my work. Does this mean I am a contradiction? Just wonderin'

    you know you're alive when you can have a good argument with yourself.

    Nice one NP! You know how I get variety in life? I have consistency in my inconsistencies - I have far too many conflicting plans and thoughts.

    Hope you're doing well! :)

    People are so complicated, there cannot help but be contradictions within us, I think. Without variety--and contradiction, the world would be much duller. As always, Marty--I very much enjoy your aphorisms.

    Our mind is looking for variety of life without
    looking inside...

    My mind would definitely contradict this. :-)

    I need to go back to diversity training.

    I like this one! Contradiction keeps the mind on its toes.

    I feel this captures my current protagonist rather well---she's a walking dichotomy, yet of more substance/perspective for it.

    I like this one! Personally, I think contradiction is also what add richness to identity as well.

    Contradiction, or the dialectical method, is a good way to dig up truth.
