Paradox

How often we’re misleading ourselves and others. Many people say that it is an art to speak in public. I would say that to learn how to listen and to hear yourself is also an art. We’re often deceived and don’t notice our own contradictions. First, we reject the person and then pray that he could feel acceptance and love, we pray against the spirit of rejection – isn’t it the paradox?

Or teach someone to do something and then shout that he does everything in a wrong way. And in addition can still say: “Who taught you so?” Maybe we should look in the mirror more often?

How often in your life you’ve heard the phrase: “Be yourself!” and then these same people, who said these words are clutching their heads crying: “Oh, God! Personally I don’t know this girl! ” Isn’t it the paradox when we motivate people to be themselves and then we’re the first to hide from them! Or we say: “You know, that I love you and accept you” and at the next moment we say: “I’ve told you for hundreds of times to change this, this, and this. Why don’t you change?” Do we truly accept them or do they need to change? A real paradox.

Here is more, but more funny. I wake up from the voice of the beloved and think: “Oh, my beloved woke up and wakes me!” I open my eyes and realize that it was not a voice but a loud snoring of the beloved who doesn’t intend to wake up in the near future! In the afternoon he’ll ask: “Honey, why are you so angry? Did you get enough sleep?” J

Isn’t it the paradox that we get over the sea and the land in order to save one and then make him twice as much ourselves? It’s not what I said, it was said by Jesus (Matthew 23: 15)

Isn’t it the paradox that people say: “Let’s be open, so it’ll be easier to love one another” But when you are open, they say: “Why are you telling me all this? I have no time!”

Oh, if only we learned to listen and hear ourselves! There is a great amount of such paradoxes in our lives. You don’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
