Willingly accept the complexity and the contradictions of life
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize
how little we understand about life,
ourselves, and the world around us.
- Socrates
Actions are always more complex and nuanced than they seem.
We have to be willing to wrestle with paradox in pursuing understanding.
- Harold Evans
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma,
a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own
mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
- Umberto Eco
For every complex problem,
there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
- H. L. Mencken
Willingly accept the complexity and the contradictions of life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
You didn't get stamped out of a mold. You aren't a "black person" or a "white person," a "fat person" or a "skinny person," a "bad person" or a "good person." You are a highly complex human being with emotions, beliefs, capabilities. Each day you face challenges to your health, relationships, finances, and world-view -- and every day you respond to those challenges in ways which are unique to you.
Honor and love all of your unique self. Never diminish yourself with self-applied labels or categorizations.
