Dichotomy

Dichotomy

Never happier, than when not laughing;
Never more in love, than scolding my child;
Never more at ease, than when I’m gaffe-ing;
Never more severe, than when acting wild.
Never hungrier, than when I’m sated;
Never more relaxed, than when energized;
Never more wistful, than when elated;
Never more serene, than when I’m surprised.
Never sillier, than when I’m austere;
Never more certain, than when I surmise;
Never more kindly, than when I’m severe;
Never more foolish, than when I am wise.
Never more at peace, than when I’m crying;
Never more alive, than when I’m dying.

Human beings are a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, inside a paradox.
