Ripe With Paradox...

Ever notice how often we all seem to contradict ourselves- making strong statements and then finding exceptions?

For example we might talk about how wrong it is to label or categorize people, then drop a line about wanting to connect wtih "people like us".

How do we know who is/isn't like us? We categorize and label people- including ourselves.

Often we don't verbalize what it means to be or not to be like us. But let's take a shot at it here using this phrase:
"There are two kinds of people in this world, people who __________ and people who don't __________."

The idea is that you think of a phrase that describes you and insert it appropriately.

Here's one for me: There are two kinds of people in this world, people (like me) who love "The Office" and people who don't get it.

Or maybe this: "There are two kinds of people in this world, people who can drive a stick, and people who can't."

Easy enough, right?

Now try one (or more) of your own in the comments section.

There are those who read the book and those who see the movie. I am the reader, my mate is the watcher.

There are two types of people in the world, glorious, knowledgable, honorable Red Sox fans and wretched, filthy, detestable Yankee fans.
