Contradiction....

the picture looks amateurish :p but it is good enough for someone who is touching the brush and colors after 5 years.

All of us have it inside us, 

Hidden, dormant, and waiting to come out if given a chance.

All that matters is how often do we let it out.

Differences are figured out based on that.

We are all good and we are all bad,

The choices are made by us,

And the choices vary from time to time,

Depending on situations and circumstances,

Sometimes it is not even by choice but by fate.

You are differentiated by the decisions that you make when you have the options to choose,

Whether we truly understand the choices that we make or not.

We choose to wear the mask of humanity but carry out the evil hiding inside us.

We choose to instil peace by professing violence,

Our guns speak justice and missiles speak freedom,

Yes. We are a contradiction to ourselves,

Our actions speak against the reasons that we vouch for.

This contradiction is there everywhere.

Sometimes the mask might look evil but it will be virtue hiding behind it.

The people that you think to be the toughest might be the kindest.

The orphans of the enemies can be seen under the shelter of their parents' killer,

Being shown the light of hope which they must have thought to not exist,

Being taught to prefer reason over emotion.

We are all contradiction to ourselves.

Like the song that says,

“preachers who teach to be humble, but own private jets

And imams who preach charity but are all fat…”

We are all contradiction to ourselves and the contradiction can be either ways.
