Paradoxes unlimited

Whats better?
To be so tiny that you have your own private space in the crowd?
or being huge enough to stand out in the crowd?

What's worse?
Standing out in the crowd as an eyesore?
or Standing out in the crowd as an obvious target, which everyone wants to hit on?

Paradoxes of life are plenty to wonder, i wonder which one to wonder about.

Whats better?
Having few or no choices to make and smoothly sail through on the one path clear ahead?
Or having too many choices with equally high opportunity costs that you need to make!

I can do anything i wanna do, as long as i can take the responsibility for it. I can decide which way i wanna go now, as long as i dont turn back. Is that an opportunity or a punishment?
I wonder as i stare at the cross road ahead...

I have plucked all the strings, and dropped all the so called boundaries. I have demolished all the walls, the fences and the trees. All i got is an empty plot,

Whats worse?
A house furnished and painted ready?
Or an open piece of land to rebuild the house you want?

Whats better?
To know exactly what you want and not get it?
or to get something you coudnlt even dream of?

Whats worse?
To have a useless, unimpressive, irritating personality?
or to have none at all?

Are we all like products in a show window trying to be sold? Is it all about a brand you create of yourselves? Are we all like pretenders - trying to be someone who attracts something? So are we all like mannequines dressed differently everyday 2 attract the people passing by?

Hi,Naina..that's quite an interesting chain of thoughts...and,honestly speaking,I cannot categorize which one is better...heh heh.What's better in one situation is worst in another..The conclusion does seem to be that we're all pretenders...trying to be someone who attracts something..or,to use one of my fav. pondering phases'Is illusion not a reality?'.....http://amitsmusings.rediffblogs.com

:) not good to think so much N.

...Have yourself a shot of whisky and let everything else go to hell!

Coz it's like my buddy OrangeCloud used to say: "Reality is an illusion caused by lack of alcohol!"

cheers!
