Contradictions

I don't think I've met a single person that can be summed up in one word. I mean, if I really had to, I would be able to, but generalizations don't do anyone justice. There are too many different facets to one personality. We contradict ourselves too much to ever be just one thing.

For example, I dislike the character of Superman. I think he's very condescending and, while he is quite selfless, he is also quite full of himself. He knows he is the best, and he has no problem keeping that title. And, his most annoying quality: he's too light. He sees the world in black and white, and it's definitely not.

On the other hand, I am in love with Optimus Prime. Let's face it, he knows he's the best too, and no one is going to take that from him. He also sees things very black and white, but I hate Superman and want to marry Optimus Prime.

I can't explain to you why I think one's a badass and the other not so much. It's a small contradiction of mine, like how I love to dress up but hate to do it in front of people I know.

Everyone has stuff like this, and it's what keeps us from being boring, from being just one word. And I don't know if that's good or bad. Maybe it's a little of both.
