Conflicting contrasts, contradictions, confusions, concerns...!


I happened to blurt out thus, in one of my 'comments'... “the desire and the labour involved... actualising it... was a "conflicting contrast!"... a spiritually significant phase, that even we undergo too often and hence the 'doubts' perhaps!)”
...

And then on, the 'issues' of conflicts started pouring in!
I thought I might as well share it, so that some conflicts are/get comfortably cushioned within, consciously...

Contrasts are usually wonderful, appealing, and a bit 'easy-on-the mind' to look at... (we find some fonts merging with the background color, and we miss it... A wonderful lesson in 'camouflage and concealment' for army people!...)...

Now, if abstract concepts become a contrast, the problems can be 'other(is)wise(r)!

We say, 'contradictions cannot co-exist'...
There is a popular verse by a learned saint who wrote in tamil, “those who did not listen to a baby's babble, might say that a flute, or another instrument 'yaal' in tamil, is sweet to hear'....
Like wise, those who did not 'see' a few Indian couples managing to co-exist with day-to-day contradictions between them might say, 'contradictions cannot co-exist'... may we say so!
...
The confusions contradicting... we have all seen it on the KBC... when the choice becomes difficult... losing the 12+ lakhs, answering a question wrongly, or risking that 'nearly-well-known' answer and doubling the stake of win... each of the individual choices 'houses' a host of confusions, and ... some of those confusions are going to conflict with other confusions of the same house, or the house of another-choice!
...
Concerns... A kid wants to go to better school/college... Keeping the kid riveted to 'our-nearby-place' entails a bleak future (knowledge, exposure, and right up to job-placement)... Allowing a re-location to a distant place, might spoil the picture due to 'over-exposure', and the con-sequences might blind us totally in a near-future-itself (contrast to a distant future)... That kid might even re-locate the heart to some other out-source...

Scientists are deeply aware of these problems of conflicting concerns, when plagued with intriguing possibilities... They too, feel only a bit 'mellowed-down' and quite inadvertently misconstrue this logical composure to be some sort of 'humility' having crept in, and start bragging within... as a 'minimum-common-program' (on the look out for similar-egoistic-scientist!!!)...
...
(As long as I do not mention name-tags... their tags are my insulation.. what a contrast... and for a change, a comforting contrast!)
...
Contrastingly yours,
