Contradictions In Life

Contradiction is defined as a paradoxic belief or emotion. People are almost always bonded to have contradictions within their own lives because contradictions are hard to avoid and always show up in conversations.  It is also hard sometimes to realize your own contradictions because you are just so used to applying it.

There are certainly many contradictions in my life, one of them exists as the paradox between old and new shoes. I always try to buy new stylish shoes every few month or so, but I also feel the need to wear out my existing ones first. The pro for the first option is the simple coolness and assurance of getting a new pair of fashionable shoes. The pro for the second option is that a pair of shoes can be expensive sometimes, especially at fashion stores. This contradiction sometimes lead me to a mental struggle between the two options and often times ultimately questioning the consequences of each. At first, buying new shoes often seemed like an attractive choice, but gradually the second option appealed to me more simply because it is not really necessary to buy shoes that often. I did not really beat myself up in this contradiction, but simply realized the better choice and changed my shopping behavior accordingly.
