“The world is full of contradictions. We can only confront them if we can face up to them”
— Mario Vargas Llosa

Simplified Meaning:
Life is often full of things that don't make sense or that don't match up. For example, someone might say they care about the environment but still litter. These mixed messages or actions are called contradictions. To deal with these confusing situations, we first need to recognize and accept them. Pretending they don't exist or ignoring them won't help. Instead, acknowledging these contradictions allows us to think clearly about them and find ways to resolve them. For instance, if someone notices the contradiction between caring for the planet and littering, they can make a conscious effort to change their behavior and encourage others to do the same. By facing these issues directly, we can make better decisions and improve our lives.
