I can’t help it but I always wonder why humans like to say something but tend to do a different thing. It is just something like promises. You give promises but ended up not fulfilling them. Human beings, no matter what, will not get away with contradiction. In one way or another, realizing or without realizing, they’ll always tend to contradict themselves. Yes I can say that the statement made is somehow true. Just do some self-reflections. I’m sure in your journey of life you’ve made some declarations or statements along the way (doesn’t matter whether if it’s about yourself or about something you like or dislike or it can even be a critic given to someone; it can be anything). But how many of these statements/declarations actually compliment with what you’re doing? Ok this may get a bit confused, I know.
Alright like for instance, you may say something like this to a friend, “you know, I don’t fancy these types of people. Eee these mats ah, they are so & so & so. The way they dress themselves are so & so & so. If I were to have a boyfriend, I don’t want to have a boyfriend who’s a mat. Eee they are just not my cup of tea la. Their characters suck man. & bla bla bla bla…..” (no offence to anyone & not pointing to anyone in particular). And then after a while, your friend saw you going out with someone categorized under the not your cup of tea species. Contradicting ain’t it?
Ok let me quote another example. You may say this to a friend, “ eh you see that girl? Gosh she really does not have respect for her own body. Just look at the way she dresses herself up. There’s only little strings attached to that whole piece of walking flesh. What the hell is she thinking? So gross.” And then after some time, God knows what’s going through inside that little head of yours, you’re getting more and more attracted to dress the way like that girl you had critic earlier.
See the point? Humans do contradict themselves.
