Question: If you have contradictions within yourself how is it you are complete !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I just try to recognize them - and use them appropriately!. All part of life's rich tapestry!. It reassures me that the universe is full of them too, or seems to be!. So basically, they are merely the edges of my incomplete understanding!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think my answer to this has to be: I'm as complete as I can be now this day but every day we grow and develop spiritually, emotionally and each experience adds a little something to ourselves that must be incorporated and absorbed into our 'being' and our 'soul'!. This may cause contradictions if it goes against past beliefs, opinions, impressions until equilibriam is found again!.
also there can be contradicitions when the heart 'feels' one thing but 'head' tells you another!. I think that as long as the soul and spirit is constant; the conscience is clear; the personality stable, then the little contradictions within can be handled or resolved better so you can be as 'complete' as you possibly strive to be within that moment of time!. xWww@QuestionHome@Com

It could be apparent contradictions, paradoxes!. We often war with ourselves and others!. If we solved the war within, really solved it, that would solve the wars without!. "Go within or go without!." In this case without peace!. We think we are integrated when all seems to agree, but usually we are really just being ideologues and missing or playing down some important points!. We can't see the other side of an issue!. We wouldn't buy a car without looking at all sides, including the insides, but we buy ideas without test driving them!. We leave that to the people we force the ideas on and look at the mess!. We have a sense of being right inside as the whole brain is right, while some of our ideas, beliefs and feelings actually go counter to reason if we let bias sway us!. Fortunately people don't usually live by their beliefs, they just try to sometimes, while their heart is far from them and sometimes healthier for it!. If it wasn't for intuition and inspiration we would be very far from the truth, indeed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

nothing is complete,no one is perfect even if it looks otherwise!.

I prefer not to call them contradictions,better to say conflicts within!.
conflict is a productive dialog most of the time!.

I don't think that we are ever complete, we go through Life making some mistakes through the Months or Years, but some of us realize what we do and try to better ourselves as best we can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wouldn't feel complete without the ability to hold opposing believe systems in my head at any given time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

so you are saying that a complete person knows everything and isn't confused about anything!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
