Our lives are chock-full of illogical idiosyncrasies. Most of us lead lives of confusion and complexity mainly because we over-complicate the simple, and reverse the straightforward.
Here are some absurd ironies we all live by or have lived by at one time or another. Feel free to add your own to the list in the comments below. I’d love to hear what you can come up with 🙂
Enjoy!
Absurd Ironies We Live By:
We fear death yet don’t live like we’re going to die
We mourn death yet don’t celebrate life while it’s happening
We live in the past and wonder why we’re depressed
We live in the future and wonder why we’re anxious
We’re brave to hold up a mirror for others yet fear to look in our own
We spend 1/3 of our day at a job we don’t like and wonder why we aren’t happy
We try to avoid feeling certain emotions and wonder why we feel numb
We neglect to give ourselves love and wonder why we feel nobody loves us
We don’t take care of our bodies and wonder why our bodies break down
We retire from a job we never loved only to realize we wouldn’t have retired if we loved our job
We wait for others to make the first move yet everyone thought that there would be nothing to wait for
We believe in Karma yet live like we’re immune to it
We believe in material things yet don’t believe in ourselves
We constantly look for shortcuts and then wonder where the beauty in the journey is
We think we’re separate yet all of our hearts are told to beat by one
We search for our answers outside of us yet we have an infinite well of wisdom within us
We’re quick to judge others yet seldom look in the mirror
We’re always focused on what to do and then wonder why we aren’t who we want to be
We feed ourselves with man-made food and wonder why we have so many man-made diseases
We degrade our health to make money then spend that money on our degrading health
We trust the egos of other people yet don’t trust our own intuition
We hold grudges thinking we’re handing off our pain to the other person yet we’re the only ones feeling the pain
We have most of our conversations through messaging and wonder why we don’t feel connected
We’re in a rush to get everywhere and wonder why we feel like we’ve gotten nowhere
