Willingly accept the complexity and the contradictions of life. - Jonathan Lockwood Huie
You didn't get stamped out of a mold. You aren't a "black person" or a "white person," a "fat person" or a "skinny person," a "bad person" or a "good person." You are a highly complex human being with emotions, beliefs, and capabilities. Each day you face challenges to your health, relationships, finances, and worldview -- and every day you respond to those challenges in ways that are unique to you.
Honor and love all of your unique self. Never diminish yourself with self-applied labels or categorizations.
Actions are always more complex and nuanced than they seem. We have to be willing to wrestle with paradox in pursuing understanding. - Harold Evans
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. - Socrates
For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. - H. L. Mencken
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. - Umberto EcoFurther reading: All Life is Paradox |
