Comments of the week
“Sunday comment,
‘Often, people are too hard on themselves for having these “contradictory” interests or beliefs. As if they were upsetting the fabric of reality or something. That’s not how it works. We can be conflicted. We are conflicted. Those conflicts do not all have to be resolved. They just can be. ‘reminds me of Walt Whitman,
Am I contradicting myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I’m big, I hold a lot.)and William Empson,
Life involves sustaining oneself amid contradictions that cannot be resolved by analysis.and Keats’ idea of the possibility of negation, that a poet must “be able to face uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any unpleasant after-fact and reason.
It took me decades of life to give up hope of a rational world?
and sustain oneself in contradictions..”– Agree, Doug.
