Day 2 of 3 Day Quote challenge
Posted by Pepper on January 28, 2016
Today’s pick is based on a conversation I had with a friend. I mentioned to her some of my preferences and she laughed. She said I was a bundle of contradictions. I thought about it and realised it couldn’t be more true. But then, doesn’t it hold true for all of us?
“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large — I contain multitudes”
— Walt Whitman
I am sure I have shared this quote on my blog in the past. Each time I read it, the truth in it leaves me awestruck. I realise I don’t always have to do things to stay true to the character the world thinks I possess. My character and personality are vast. They contain layers. I identify with different sides at different times, because nothing contains a single meaning or a single truth.
If this is contradictory, so be it! Here is a toast to all our contradictions *Clink*

This is so true! Not only contradictions, I will admit I have caught my own hypocrisy at times.
So I have realized, I work according to situations, keeping core principles intact. Not too shabby.
