The contradiction of feelings!!
Yeah, I don't like you! Is that why I help you with your assignments? Yeah, I don't like you! Is that why I get mad over you for silly reasons? Yeah, I don't like you! Is that why I want to bully you and enjoy it? Yeah, I don't like you! Is that why I...

The Needed Contradiction, Part II
...I think the counterbalance is our craving for community, and not the local government, no, the things we enter freely. I’m talking about your neighbors, your churches and your civic clubs, things we build in the private space, where you hang out with all your buds. The joint virtues you stand behind, those that you submit to by choice, no human works in solitude, these things...

The Needed Contradiction, Part I
I see a contradiction that grows clearer with each passing day, once I think we all one know, once saw as just part of the game, a dynamic state of tension that we should hope is not resolved, for that be would be unfortunate for all the parties now involved. It begins looking at the state, that should safeguard our liberties, and, when it steps...

A question eats my soul Everything is relative Or is everything of absolutes? Because everything is together If happiness or sadness are transitory.

I know that my love for you...

Premium Member The Contradiction of the Cross
Vile instrument of death and shame on which Christ hung taking our blame. His death purchased eternal life for those ensnared by sin and strife. Like Moses’ serpent on a pole those doomed to die from death He stole. That which was once a source of shame is now acclaimed in Jesus’ name. Hanging between two taunting thieves His words caused two men...

There’s a kitty I have that is white. When I pet him, he purrs with delight. Then directly he goes with his mouth to my nose and with tiny sharp teeth gives a bite! Nov 5, 2022 For Tania Kitchin's A Funny Limerick - Make Me Laugh Poetry Contest...

Premium Member Mr Contradiction
By definition, Mr. Contradiction asserts the contrary or deny the truth of something. He admittedly is hypocritical and controversial, and most often, he refuses to surrender. He fights until only death or doom defeats him. It is his nature to behave this way. Mr. Contradiction. Do you not hear him, as do I, shouting from...

Simple Contradiction Maybe
I now live, what I've lived before... Only now it's different... that I do fitter now of what I did before... or do worse what I didn't learn... If I do it right, I shorten my life, if I do the worst, I lengthen my life... Contradictory, but true... Then later, I'll explain... !...

Contradiction
Civil War? How can that be? I am 19, in green, surrounded by others, all green Scared, afraid to show it, shaking beneath this garb In my head this question runs round and round How can war be civil, a heady contradiction I want no part of this conundrum Yet I made the choice and took the risk The coin landed wrong...
