Just my frank opinion, leave your comment below.
7. Man is both animal and divine. He is the creator of universes and yet he's not so different from his pet.
8. Ideas travel at the speed of light. They are like the universe they constantly expand and never cease to grow exponentially, but when we put it to practice we seemingly can't grasp the totality of it all as it is impossible to travel at the speed of light it is impossible for us to fully get a grip on something moving at that speed.
9. Money doesn't matter but we can't live in a society properly without it.
10. The world is your oyster but it still kicks you around.
"In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war."Those are some good ones and I want to add this.
11. I heard that you shouldn't take things seriously and yet you should be serious about certain matters.
"We are just like Irregular Data. And that applies to you too, Ri CO. And as for you, Player... your job is to correct Irregular Data."12. Sometimes you are in danger. Sometimes you are the danger.
(I took that from the Breaking Bad.)
13. People can be so beautiful that we can hardly believe that they shit.
14. Love is blind but sometimes you can see the things the person can't hide from others.
15. A nuclear missile is one of man's most destructive weapons of war, and yet one can say that it has horrified people so much that it has brought some measure of peace to this world. (If you call intimidation a "measure of peace".)

"In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war."16. Nutritiousness and deliciousness of food is almost always mutually exclusive.
17. The Opposite Sex: you can't live with 'em, but you can't live without 'em.
The love/hate relationship sometimes makes me wonder how we manage to keep our species alive, let alone overpopulate the Earth.
This Space Intentionally Left Blank.(Not sure if it counts as contradictory, but...)
18. The first thing you discover when learning a new subject is how much you really don't understand about said subject.
Living The Fever Dream19.There are no limits to what you can do but you need to realize that they are limits to what can you do and you need to know your limits before you can surpass them. (this may not be a contradiction.)
20. Just be yourself just like everyone else.
"We are just like Irregular Data. And that applies to you too, Ri CO. And as for you, Player... your job is to correct Irregular Data."21:God hates Transgender people, but ask a church-goer what gender God is, the classic answer is "God is both."
21a: God is both genders at once, but it seems few, if any, people refer to Him with female or gender-neutral pronouns.
The possum is a potential perpetrator; he did place possum poo in the plum pot.That means God is hermaphrodite or intersex, not transsexual. Transsexual is when somebody identifies with a gender other than his/her/their biological sex. Hermaphrodite means he/she has both reproductive organs, intersex means that one has a mix-or-match combination of sexual organs. Source: I had really, really weird fetishes.
22) You need to go to college if you want to earn good money, but going to college means that you are indebted for the rest of your entire life.
23) People who accuse others of being intolerant are actually intolerant against intolerant people.

Seen in the profile picture: the Gundam Flauros Rebake Full City, piloted by McGillis Itsuka, captain of the Turbines24) When people aren't in talking moods, they sign onto instant messaging programs (AIM, Skype, etc.), which are all about talking to people.
I like to keep my audience riveted.My favourite paradox that has solid statistical backing and makes perfect sense for us in its contradiction?
25) Studies consistently find that people with children are happier than those without, but these people are happiest when away from their children.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.26) To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear-
...oh, misunderstood the topic, sorry.
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!Gives off a whiff of Unfortunate Implications, doesn't it? x_x
I like to keep my audience riveted.Indeed it is.
"We are just like Irregular Data. And that applies to you too, Ri CO. And as for you, Player... your job is to correct Irregular Data."27) I need to get a life... but I don't want one.
28. People will claim to like every type of music, but...
- DeadHorseGenres exist.
- Most of them will really mean pop, rock, rap or some subgenre of EDM. Pull up something else, and they'll call it noise.
Or exotic/world music.
My own attitude towards music genres is that they're trivial or esoteric. There is no genre in which I like more than a few select pieces, and none where there isn't something I like. I can't even tell apart subdivisions like punk. There's relatively little music I like, but I can come across it anywhere.
29) I get along best with less social people, because they talk about ideas rather than people.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.30. Don't give up but always know when to fold them.
This one fascinates me as I keep hearing how we should never give and yet know when to give up. I wonder if it is a contradiction or just one of those mysteries of life that I keep hearing about?
"We are just like Irregular Data. And that applies to you too, Ri CO. And as for you, Player... your job is to correct Irregular Data."I would reframe that as "know when to fold them but as long as you're playing, play to win". In other words, either fold them or don't. Don't keep playing after you've given up only because you don't want to admit it, either to yourself or to others.
Or, "giving up when you shouldn't and not giving up when you should are equally harmful so be really careful". :P

That makes some sense.
"We are just like Irregular Data. And that applies to you too, Ri CO. And as for you, Player... your job is to correct Irregular Data."31. Only a bad workman blames his tools, and Windows Movie Maker.
The possum is a potential perpetrator; he did place possum poo in the plum pot.There's a bit of good in every bad thing. Some folks choose not to expose this hidden good side.
What happened? Why am I not allowed to post anymore!?32. Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear.... except you saw that and must decide which half to put it under. Even worse if you heard it from your elders, or that one Marvin Gaye song it's in.

You know I had been thinking about this all week at work but what are some of the contradictions of life? I can only think of these:
1. All Good Things Come To Those Who Wait BUT Time and Tide Wait For None
2. Look Before You Leap BUT Strike While The Iron Is Hot.
3. That's the nature of being a parent, Sabine has discovered. You'll love your children far more than you ever loved your parents, and — in the recognition that your own children cannot fathom the depth of your love — you come to understand the tragic, unrequited love of your own parents. ― Ursula Hegi
4. That with every mistake, we learn something more.
5. The fact that we can change our fate and yet we will one day inevitably perish.
6. Life's Ultimate Paradox: That we are each born completely unique and our purpose on the planet lies within our uniqueness. Yet, to employ our uniqueness, to make a purposeful impact, we must, at some level be accepted by others, which means we must also conform. Go figure.
