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.
