The Irony of Language -- Regarding Words for Having Beauty and Dignity

Just thinking about language, and how ironic it is, that we may say that one is dignified, when one has dignity/self-respect, however -- when it comes to not having self-respect -- we may not necessarily say that one is dignity-less; Much like, when we say that one if full of beauty -- we say that they are beautiful; but if we are referring to someone who is lacking in beauty, we do not say that they are beauty-less -- but rather, we refer to them as being ugly; homely; or unattractive.

Life Can Lay Out Some Interesting Paradoxes if We Look Closely -- Logic and Perception May Be Related to Mirroring or Mocking, and Finding the Humour

Life is full of irony. Finding the paradoxes and humor in life, may be one of it's most interesting aspects. Logic and projection are key. Mirroring, humor, and sarcasm, may go hand-in-hand in relationship to wit and defense mechanisms of we human beings. Also, relationships and associations are key in the perception of those paradoxes, and connecting-the-dots of some of life's (humorous) puzzles.

The Irony in Comparison -- Two Different Articles Regarding Addiction and Obsession in Relationships

Wondering -- If you compare the following articles to each other: How to Make a Man Addicted to You  and  Warning Signs of Excessive Obsession - I wonder if you will find the irony of the comparison, as I did.

The initial article, appears to be information for a woman who has a desire to make a man addicted to her; and the last article, appears to be information about excessive obsession in a relationship. A little something for one extreme and the other.

How about that?

We Humans Search for the Origins of Life -- Simultaneously, sometimes finding irony.

Recently, I found this article about the origins of life search. BBC News - Searching for the origins of life... and our future -- How intriguing is that?

It's ironic that we humans search for answers about life in the 'past', and explore the possibilities of life in the 'future'; simultaneously -- trying to find out our purpose; and our goal/why and how we are here... in the living 'present'.

A Finding of a Fun and Brain Stimulating Website with an Insightful Forum

The website called BrainDen shows riddles, puzzles, paradoxes, optical illusions, and offers games for the brain. It also offers links for IQ tests and puzzles, along with a forum for individuals to discuss and offer their insight, about those brain teasers.

After reading some of the paradoxes and looking at the optical illusions, BrainDen looks very appealing as a great website for brain exercise, and a fun way to explore 'logic's (sometimes) illogical scope' -- if you will.

The forum that BrainDen offers for individuals to express insight, and discuss the irony of paradoxes, along with the fun things offered on the site -- is definitely a plus.

Perhaps, you can check out some of the engaging challenges and fun stuff, for a little brain teasing and stimulation.
