Continuing from "Let's Be Honest, at Least, I Will" where we spoke about giving others advice but not being able to apply that advice to ourselves, there's a term called "Solomon's Paradox" to pinpoint the contradiction between thinking about other people’s predicaments with wisdom, logic, and maturity but failing to do so for ourselves. The biblical King Solomon was renowned for his intelligence and unmatched wisdom to others in his own life that ultimately led to the demise of his kingdom. The simple answer is "self image" and ego. We like to think ourselves as a specific type of person whilst ignoring our inner selves.

It's Difficult, I Know
Life, to me, is how my dad explained it. It's like a horse race, but one of those ones where there are jumps every other hundred yards. My dark spin on my dad's analogy is, it IS like a horse race. You're riding through life smoothly for about 10 seconds, then you hit a rather heart-dropping hurdle. Now, if you don't fall of inevitability, you've succeeded. But every once in a while, the people riding fall off and the horse breaks its leg and the curtains go up. Generally, life is like that for everyone; we smooth sail whilst regularly jumping hurdles and overcoming those hurdles.
