The Paradox Of Being “Troubled”
And troubled we are, in part.
Carl Jung talks about the paradox of life being where the greatest understanding of ourselves lies:
The paradox…reflects a higher level of intellect and, by not forcibly representing the unknowable as known, gives a more faithful picture of the real state of affairs.
The paradox is one of our most valued spiritual possessions.
“And what you do not know is the only think you know
And what you own is what you do not own
And where you are is where you are not.”
There exist two sides to almost every situation, every coin. It’s apt that we use these tokens to exchange energy; value, worth. Or at least we did before contactless. Flip a coin and it can land on heads or tails. See any experience in life and you may view it through finite or infinite means. Do we lack from losing an every day, practical example? To have money be a weight in our hands.
“Science describes accurately from the outside, poetry describes accurately from the inside. Science explicates, poetry implicates. Both celebrate what they describe.”
