The contradictory puzzle
and enigma
is life’s paradox.
An ambiguous scenario
where simultaneous situations
exist side by side.
Happy/gloomy
harmonious/dissonant
likeable/disagreeable
intimate/distant
pleasant/irritating
charming/annoying.

The absurd response
of rational people.
The unexpected reaction
of a predictable person.
The ordered behaviour
of a random group.
The inconsistent approach
of a thoughtful academic.
The perplexed expression
of a confident genius.
