Paradox - two opposing elements that coexist, revealing complexity or deeper insights. It challenges conventional thinking, causing people to think more critically, to see the bigger picture, to broaden horizons, to see both sides of the story. It helps us to grow, to adapt.
Right now it feels like the world is wobbling on its axis. Everyday we are bombarded with news that makes us wonder, "Can this get any worse?" and it continues day after day. Tune out the news and tune into your heart. Share a little kindness. It could become the best part of someone's day, especially when they're not expecting it. So today I encourage you to lead by example and show someone that most people are good, that kindness isn't dead, and that we're all in this life together.
Those commandments have more resonance for me than the commandments contained in "The Bible". With regard to the endless stream of bad or worrying news, I certainly think that we owe to ourselves to turn down the volume and find pleasure and comfort in Nature and our everyday lives - being nice to other people should be part of that.
