" Why is life so full of contradictions?"

It serves to break down mental pride.
We must realize how poor and powerless
we are. As long as we delude ourselves
by what we imagine ourselves to be, to
know, to have, to do, we are in a sad
plight indeed. Only in complete self-
negation there is a chance to discover
our real being.

that makes sense since pride is the biggest sin.

as soon as one thinks they are better then everybody else the universe wil prove them wrong and they will be forced to realize how little they actually know but the 1 million dollar question is how to hone your skills without pride taking over.

i still have yet to find a way to do so as everytime I have pride the universe conspires against me.
