Life in all its hues

What makes life interesting?

I tell my bro that I don’t care about marks and only care for the “learning” from a course. Yet I will not settle for any grade less than an “A”.

I love animals. Yet I kill all the cockroaches and ants in my kitchen.

I believe in seeing the “good” in everyone. Yet I crib about people being bad to me.

I say “I can change the world around me”. Yet I get scared even to speak in a “loud” voice or make myself heard.

I wish for everyone’s welfare and happiness. Yet am jealous of people who are smarter/richer/better than me.

I know that getting up early is a good habit. Yet I just cannot open my eyes before “10:00am” in the morning(I get up early only if I have to attend college or work)

I do not like wasting time browsing the net. Yet I spend hours doing the same.

I hate being possessive about my dear ones. Yet deep inside am greatly possessive about them.

I talk a lot about “truth” and how noble a virtue it is. Yet I lie very easily(I have lied so many times , so lost count of it).

I believe that working for the “sense of satisfaction” that a job provides is more important than the rewards we get out of it. Yet on the “30th/31st” of every month am the happiest because that’s the day my bank balance increases.

I think people who fall in love are wasting their time. Yet I myself fell in love (and out of it too).

Being frank and honest with one’s parents is a good thing. Yet I have never been so with my parents.

I like helping others whenever anyone is in need. Yet I get a strange happiness when I see somebody “struggling” (ok, not the wicked kind of happiness but some sence of domination over others when others fail and I succeed).

The list would just go on.

Sometimes it makes me feel “Am I a hypocrite?” However I feel these “contradictions” are the things that make my life interesting (and complicated as well).

Do drop in the “contradictions” in your life? :)
