Positive reinforcement

Positive reinforcement

Be kind to yourselves Hey all. I have once again been dormant on this forum. I have been reading a lot of writings. Of all the posts I have written, this one is the most difficult. I will refrain from using negative words. For those who see life as a paradox, this thought can only remain an absurdity within ourselves. External exposures are influencing our psyche. Be true to yourself and you will prosper.

Have a very happy Easter

Kind Regards

Wordman

Re: Positive reinforcement

I do not see life as a paradox @wordman many things can be paradoxical, but we often need to dig for a deeper meaning.

Re: Positive reinforcement

I love a good paradox.

I'm not sure if, life = paradox

but in many ways, paradox = life.

In truth, I'm not sure I understand the what you mean when you say "this thought can only remain an absurdity within ourselves". And I love this confusion (because I'm a bit of an absurdist).

I think what I'm getting stumped on is, what version of life is there that's not paradoxical? Or for that matter, what kind of anything is un-paradoxical?

Leading me to think, Isn't paradox an unavoidable bi-product of witnessing a single thing from different perspectives?

I really appreciate the way you stretch my understandings on some of my favourite topics.
