Hello and welcome back to another week of Sierra's Weekly Sayings! This week I will be talking about my own contradictions in my life. I have a lot actually. The first one would be that I am sometimes late but expect others to be one time. I am not usually one who is late but when I am I always feel sorry for the person who has to wait for me. If I am not late but the person who I am with is late, then i guess I am a little annoyed because that person should be more responsible and be on time. This one is probably my worst one cause it happens a lot. I hate this contradiction because I know how it feels when I am late to hang out with that person yet I still get upset when they are late. I just need to work on being on time and not letting the other person being late bother me. The second contradiction I have in my life is that I have no religion but still pray when I am really scared. This one is big for me cause my family has never had any religion and I know nothing about religious ideas but I still do this sometimes. I do not believe in a certain religion or god but I do believe in their ideas and thoughts. So I do this sometimes to keep myself from freaking out and to make myself more calm inward. I have honestly come to terms with this contradiction and do not plan on settling on a single religion ever. The last contradiction I have in my life is that I want to make myself happy but spend so much of my life making others happy. I always tell myself that I am going to try and make myself happy, but I use so much of this time to make sure other people in my life are happy. I care about everyone and I want everyone to be happy. I see this as a flaw in my life because, yes I want to make sure everyone in my life is happy, but I always need to make sure and ask myself if I am happy. I don't have very many contradictions in my life so I guess I am a bit of an idiot in some ways but I enjoy the contradictions I have in my life. Without these contradictions, I would not be the person I am today.
To end this weeks blog,
"Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack a contradiction a sign of truth."
- Blaise Pascal
Thank you for reading this weeks edition of Sierra's Weekly Sayings and I hope to see you again next week!
I think it is natural to search for some sort of higher power when you are scared and pray to it. It may feel comforting to know that if there is something out there, then it is looking out for you and protecting you, regardless of your beliefs. I think that you should take time to make yourself happy and then you will find that others around you become happy. It is always good to withdraw and find time for yourself.
