Virtue of Inconsistency Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Peace & Conflict   Opinions

  


Everybody mentions in his/her opinion about the characteristics of life, later they start to claim how to be successful in it based upon their assumptions about existence.

There are some persons who are accepted to be “experienced life students ” at our surroundings. Those people would never be tired or get bored of you even you go and ask them every day for transferring their “knowledge of life” to you. These personalities can talk and talk about their experiences ,generally based on metaphors, without showing any sign of boredom.

While “wise man” describes you all these stuff, he gives you only many examples which acquire its meaning through resemblances. He uses definitions hardly. They are presently senior students of “The School of Life” explaining dimensions of life with examples in such a way that you may not even feel the need for definitions. But the given examples are plain, so that understanding them and creating definitions by using examples is not a hard job. You can go one step further and improve the given example and create a new example and definition.

While starting the morning of the graduation ceremony day at university; I was feeling so good like every graduate can feel. Later in that day I got sad just because of it. If you consider it rationally, I was not supposed to be sad after all. Being sad is being inconsistent. But who can claim to me that inconsistency is not a virtue. I do not mention about evident silly inconsistencies. Much more, there are intricate inconsistencies. For instance, you claim to be indifferent, unconcerned about anything and at the same time you counterattack when you face with criticism; this act is obviously opposite to being unconcerned. Indifferent person with its naked meaning does not give any voice when you swear him or do not defend himself when you beat him. It is hard to find that kind of an indifferent person. All concerned and indifferent persons are totally inconsistent within themselves as if like betraying the adjectives naming them. That is what should happen anyway.
