Life’s Contradictions

There are some funny things in life – things that just don’t make any sense but sometimes we just have to go along with them.

Chemotherapy is one of those things – hard to believe that something designed to cure a disease can make people sick.

Another contradiction is in schools – not all people learn the same.  Some of us are visual learners, some are audio, some are tactile…..But the big thing in schools now is Common Core – an attempt to standardize teaching.

Hard to fit all kids into a mold and use the exact same method for all students everywhere.

Both of my boys had a class in 8th grade where part of the curriculum involved bullying.   The main thing they were told is that if they see someone being bullied and step in to help then they become the bully – WHAT?!

I think that is one contradiction (for the students around here)  that should be done away with!!

Another thing that I find very contradictory is the Blue Light treatment for precancerous spots.  When you have all of these places that are caused from too much sun exposure and then have a treatment that basically gives you the worst sunburn ever it doesn’t make any sense!!

And, there are a lot of funny things that don’t really make sense –

Can you explain any of these contradictions?
What is something that doesn’t make sense to you?

Happy Monday!!
