So this is the second to last rule i can right about, even though there are 11 rules the 11th one can really be shortened down and it would suck to give it away after all it is "the rule unspoken since the beginning of time" so todays rule
"A contradiction can not exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole. To believe in a contradiction is to abdicate your belief in the existence of the world around you and the nature of the things in it, to instead embrace any random impulse that strikes your fancy ? to imagine something is real simply because you wish it were. A thing is what it is, it is itself. There can be no contradictions.Faith is a device of self-delusion, a sleight of hand done with words and emotions founded on any irrational notion that can be dreamed up. Faith is the attempt to coerce truth to surrender to whim. In simple terms, it is trying to breath life into a lie by trying to outshine reality with the beauty of wishes. Faith is the refuge of fools, the ignorant, and the deluded, not of thinking, rational men.In reality, contradictions cannot exist. To believe in them you must abandon the most important thing you possess: your rational mind. The wager for such a bargain is your life. In such an exchange, you always lose what you have at stake."

I know, quite long and don't worry tomarrow is another short one. There isn't really much to expand on this one, its too long :( lol. All it is saying though is that nothing can contradict itself. To believe that a contradiction exists is to give in and give up. nothing else to say really, tomarrowas the last rule.
This rule goes against my entire blog, heh. A flame of water? Pitted cherries that may contain pits?
ReplyDeleteI suppose that contradictions are, in fact, a state of mind, one that I so readily possess.
