celebrating the art of paradox

delving into the wisdom of absurdity in whimsical way
this blog is about paradox.
through my questions, i hope to encounter the paradox within belief, that place where there is not one answer but many contradictory ones.
each question, each drawing is an invitation to join me in allowing what appears absurd to take us to a wisdom beyond linear thinking.
as long as we question, we are free. free to see, to feel and to express who we are. and to connect collaboratively with one another.

"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

Which one?
well, you have a point there....so many hungers so few multicourse meals......
After you eat a meal, haven't you created a hunger? Perhaps a hunger for hunger?
a hunger for hunger. i wonder if that is innate or something we learn...
If i am in hunger and dun feed myself ....what will be the consequences ??
If the food is all junk and no nutrition, you will still be hungry
Raji, very true ....but if is junk and it fills ..is the junk useful??
yes...what to do when hungry....what is a meal; what is junk?
am i feeding different things at different meals?
Proper feeding with the proper food at the proper time in the proper amount will naturally promotes growth....then does hunger leads to growth ?? If there is a desire aren't we driven to do something ....this can be natural,then it can be too, controlled .....so there is wild and civilised ....perhaps ....
s.a, i like the direction your comment takes.....hunger leading to growth, which can be wild or civilized or.........?
In this case u will be feeding the satisfaction and killing the desire!
z.......such a wonderful comment! where would we be without desire?
does the desire for the meal feed the hunger in a a way nothing else does?
exactly! by junk I mean things that don't kill the desire but make us crave for more.... a meal is something which satisfies
r, there is an interesting distinction..crave vs. desire. and a meal that nourishes satisfies in a way that feeding a craving cannot? can a craving be satisfied or will it always remain hunger?
a craving can be satisfied too, i guess...
what generates a craving? vs. desire?
