Image via WikipediaWe are a strange species. We fall in love...and we're foolish in love. We get our hearts broken...and we break hearts. We make OURSELVES crazy with all of our emotions and obsessions.
We write poems and songs, so full of emotion...we give and love...we rage and murder...we medicate ourselves to keep from feeling...we hate our numbness and do extreme things, seeking adrenaline highs, to feel. We're contradictory in almost everything we do. We believe that we believe one way, but we find our actions are incongruent with our beliefs...we wonder IF we believe. We seek...we search...we find...then we bury much of what we learn of ourselves deep in our subconscious minds, hoping the truths, both beautiful and awful, will not find light again, for both the beautiful and the ugly within...call us to account.
We're painfully transparent...yet we also omit truths and hide our flaws, as though anyone equally human will believe our projected flawlessness. We lie. We hate liars. We condemn violent criminals to die for taking a life, or lives...we take theirs, payback's a bitch, you know....
We are so lacking in synchronicity. We are incongruent as a society, and often even within our individual selves. We loathe contradiction and hypocrisy...and we BREED it. Order and chaos...yin yang...polarity...would the Earth spin wildly off her axis if all of this contradiction ceased? Is it all part of the natural balance of human existence? Is that, in some strange way, what holy scriptures of all faiths tell us in their own historical and mythological accounts? They too are contradictory and incongruent within themselves. Perhaps there is some kind of strange magic in that truth...
Or perhaps...humanity is just completely and utterly insane.
