Contrasts

Each day is a series of moments joined to form the experience we call life.

Within these moments, there seems to be the constant presence of contrasts. We like to label things as good or bad, positive or negative, useful or useless.

For the most part, these categories cover the events we encounter. Yet there will always be situations and circumstances that slip between the edges of these definitions.

Nevertheless, these could well be the most memorable instances, the ones causing us to step back, wake up, be present and live the moment, no?

Contrasts

Contrasts and contradictions surround us. Yet their presence adds to the day, rather than subtracts from it. Without the uniqueness of each of the contrasts forming the moment, life might seem monotonous and devoid of depth.

Thinking about the contrasts we could face between today and yesterday, we have the possibility to discover the distance we have covered through our efforts to be our best. From where we started to where we are now, contrasts indicate the progress achieved.

Some people may choose to notice contrasts between their situation and that of others. Whilst this is feasible, the action rarely offers a fair assessment of either ourselves or of others. The individual is, by definition, an individual. If needing to be judged, a person ought to be evaluated against his or her potential instead of some common, anonymous, benchmark.

How we view the issue of contrasts remains a personal matter, of course. For now, let me just thank you for connecting here and reading this ‘Contrasts‘ post today.

Kindest regards.

Brian.
