Each person has a particular combination of CONTRADICTORY and PARADOXICAL qualities that work together to produce that person's best work !!!! The power of paradox is that each sied of the contradiction can be equally dominant and seem to be present simultaneously :the result is not a compromise ,but,rather both sides are present fully!
''The curious paradox is that when i accept myself just as i... am.....then i can change.''
C.Rogers
People find the notion of paradox difficult to handle.People who hold on one position on a controversial issue and act in a way contrary to it are called inconsistent or hypocritical.Paradoxes,are not part of a drift toward pathology.List your personal characteristics and you'll discover not one,not two,but many contradictions...and when u do it,please don't reject descriptive words that u dislike !
