Trying to eliminate contradictions wears you down—On the power of contradictions

The Trap of "Eliminating" ContradictionsThe side that was cut off continues to rage on the inside.

I have something I want to do. But realistically, I have other things I need to do right now.

My ideal job and the job that supports my life don't align.

My ideal self and my current self don't align.

When faced with this kind of situation, people naturally think, "I have to choose one or the other."

Here's the reason why so many people get sick.

Treating contradictions as things that "must be resolved." Trying to make one side the correct answer and discard the other. The moment one side is discarded, the contradiction is resolved—or so it seems. But in reality, the discarded side continues to resist internally, consuming energy as frictional heat.

This is what it means to have your heart worn out.

I thought I chose the "right path" by suppressing what I wanted to do, but for some reason, I'm not fulfilled. Instead, I feel more drained with each passing day. That's because the contradictions I cut off are raging within me. What I thought I erased hasn't disappeared.

The idea of "turning" contradictionsThe paradox of how people with many contradictions somehow become stable

The concept of "contradictory force" inverts this structure.

Instead of eliminating contradictions, pivot them. Instead of moving straight, rotate.

The image is of a rapidly spinning top. The faster a top spins, the more stable it becomes. The moment it stops, it falls over.

Humans are the same. When we embrace contradictions internally and hold them as rotational energy, we become more stable. This gives rise to the paradox that people with more contradictions tend to be more stable.

From the outside, people appear to have the same internal contradictions, yet some fall ill while others become more stable. What causes this difference? It boils down to whether one uses contradictions as "forward-momentum energy" to cancel them out, or as "rotational energy" to fuel oneself.

Rotation requires an axis.The purpose of existence is to gather scattered vectors.

However, there is a condition. Rotation requires an "axis."

The unwavering central axis that transcends all contradictions. The purpose of existence. The fundamental vision. The non-negotiable foundational principles.

When that axis exists, the scattered vectors are incorporated into circular motion, and the divergent energy transforms into rotational torque.

Trying to spin a contradiction without an axis will only lead to confusion. It's the axis that allows rotation to happen, and it's the rotation that provides stability.

Don't resolve contradictions, make contradictions the engine itself.

Having many contradictions isn't a weakness. The ability to navigate them is the true nature of strength.
