Being a contradiction

On one hand your own personal experience is the greatest indicator of what is true and false and not the numerous rumours and hearsay of others making you the smartest person you know but on the other hand you are just a talking monkey whose species can’t even get its shit together enough to stop destroying the earth beneath our feet instead of arresting stoners and shooting each other in the desert

On one hand its your current sensory experiences that make up the entire perceivable universe and your species along with its technology is the most complex and cutting edge of what is happening in the known universe right now but on the other hand you are a tiny speck in an uncaring universe that will have completely forgotten about you in a generation or two.

For some reason the theme of most peoples self image is contradiction and judging by the people I have asked in general we feel both intelligent but retarded, both special but insignificant, both free but confined and we live lives that feel both short and long. Even if there’s no implication to this at all it’s at least worth pointing out to people and maybe its better to just run with your sense of contradiction instead of letting your personality be confined to one end of the spectrum or a middle ground, this sort of thinking lets you do go ahead and do things while preventing you from starting to take yourself too seriously.
