Contradictions.

Do we really live in a world governed by contraditions?
It seems that there is some truth in contradicitions! One cannot deny that "everybody wants to go to a better after-life, but really nobody wants to die!" and that "money is the root of all evil, but nobody throws it away!"
On the other hand, looking at a human growth from the cradle to the grave, the process highlights some contradicitons, too! Given that the two main constituents that make a human being, body and 'soul' or any other name to refer to the psyche, the brain, the intellect, etc..., noticeable growing factors become evident. While the physical equipment with which the human body is endowed, reaches its maturity in early adulthood, the brain is still very far beyond maturity. In fact it becomes thoroughly mature very much in senility. Perhaps, that's why it was believed that the young must fight for their country, and only govern it when senior citizens, at which time the body loses most of its strength, agility and firmness.
Body and soul are never at optimum status together: either one is strong and the other childish, or mentally equipped and bodily infirm.
This train of thought might end with absurdities: why is it not possible to reserve some of the cold wintry breeze for the long hot summer days; or summer high temperatures are not shared with icy wintry weather ? Or getting hoardes of wealth when one doesn't need it ?
