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.

Values -- Projection -- and Perception: What Makes Us What Others Think We Are

Some people are especially physically beautiful. They may be very appealing to look at. They attract. Some people are especially personable. They may put us at ease, with their friendliness and charming wit. Some people may be especially sensitive and sympathetic. They may make us feel in-touch; connected, received, and understood. Some people are especially open and nurturing. They may make us feel cared for, and empathized with.

There are a lot of ways that we humans connect with each other. Our subjectivity, values, and needs, play a large part in our perception of others. However -- Sometimes, our pre-judgments can shade objectivity (of course).

An apparent mesmerizing beauty, may look well-rounded. However, he or she may (actually) have a shallow and self-absorbed personality.

An apparent homely person, may (actually) have a warm and delightful personality.

An apparent idiot, may (actually) be a savant.

An apparent shy person, may (actually) have a complex and active mind.

An apparent charming person, may (actually) be anti-social.

There can be a lot of paradox's regarding human nature, and the way we project. An individual's beliefs about another person as being likable or not, may generally be related to the values and needs of the perceiver -- and the degree of discernment of the person.
