"Paradox" Looks Awfully Like "Paradise"

Sometimes i feel like saying Eff the world of everlasting misery, of giving and taking, of ebbing and flowing; To hell with the world of hot and cold, of light and dark, of night and day; Abolish the globe of noise and silence, of forwards and backwards, of screams and whispers; Relinquish your hopes of high and low, of rich and poor, of young and old; Eat your share of salt and sugar, of bagels and lox, of chocolate and vanilla ice cream; Drink your sorrows of beer and wine, of gin and tonic, of rum and coke; Immerse yourself in good news and bad news, in rock and roll, in the world's ups and downs.

This world is a seeming contradiction.

I really love this one. It's pretty Taoist, ya know? Taoist thought says we should just embrace the world's natural paradoxes and be at peace. =)
