"The Nonidealistic Anti-Simplistic Paradox"
March 6, 2014
Even for a god, life is not simple.
Even a king, even a monarch, even a poet has to endure the blissful pain that is life.
It is so tragically beautiful to consider what life is.
Routines met by surprises.
Plans met by discrepancies.
In short, a paradox.
Life pits reason verses morality.
Life would have one man smile as he kills another merely over scraps of paper.
We force ourselves to claw away at a paradox,
hoping we will emerge into an idealistic opposite.
Isn't that the greatest paradox of all?
I envy the idea of simplicity.
