What Scott says

It's like Walt Whitman said: do I contradict myself? Of course I do. I am vast. I contain multitudes.

We're all like that. If we try to not contradict ourselves, if we try to live in a singular way, then we can only find ourselves living a lie and being inauthentic. To be fully human, to be fully conscious, we must learn to think in and as paradox. Awakening to our true nature bestows on us the ability to more fully hold and think and navigate within paradox.
