We Live In An Oxymoron – That’s Why We Suffer

Oxymoron: apparently contradictory terms appearing together, eg futile diligence.

‘We’ believe in a ‘self’: pure consciousness believes it’s a created self. I think, therefore I am. The visible and mental universe is built on opposing forces that work together, but which actually cause stress of constant motion.

We never notice that we live in contradictions, which is why we rarely have deep conversations, but many virtual friends.

We feel guilty when we’re doing nothing, and this increases our dissatisfaction. We constantly worry that we’ve made the wrong choices, spending hours scrolling instead of living.

The raw moment is edited for maximum engagement, as we find yet another thing that we can be enthusiastic and animated about. We lose track of what we are – and become another oxymoron.

We are told to test our teacher to see whether they’re telling us the complete truth, but awkward questions are frowned upon.

If we believe in a God, what sort of God? And how do we know whether it’s one of love, craziness or orchestrated pandemonium – which is another oxymoron.

Orchestrated: highly organised and controlled.
Pandemonium: wild lawlessness and total confusion.

When we know what we are,
we have no need for others to tell us what we are.

Yet another oxymoron: “I am telling you the truth”.
