contradictions

Lines in his Famous Diary published under the title of “MARKINGS”  in 1961: “LIFE YIELDS ONLY TO THE CONQUEROR. NEVER ACCEPT WHAT CAN BE GAINED BY GIVING IN. YOU WILL BE LIVING OFF STOLEN GOODS, AND YOUR MUSCLES WILL ATROPHY”.

​These contradictions must form the fiber and fabric of life depending on the situation i.e ​Firmness and Flexibility, Egotism and Humility, Intolerance and Compassion, Independence and Loyalty, Fortitude and Pragmatism, Absolute Fearlessness and Reasonable Caution, and Finally Irrepressible Energy and Suave Calmness. He is a Rare Combination of Steel and Velvet, One must be  as Hard as Rock and as Soft as Drifting Fog, one must Hold in his Heart and Mind the Paradox of Raging Storm and Tranquil Calm
​So when we deal with certain people ​we are forced to come out of our skin of nice and noble qualities and behave nastily to get our rightful due.
