For this week, write about a paradox that is seemingly irreconciliably. For example:

"Freedom is slavery" - George Orwell
The disparity between eastern and western thought a la T.S. Eliot style
Eros vs. Thanatos

Also, poll. Not many seem interested, so should I waste my time thinking these up?

Well, I guess I'll keep this going tomorrow, but only if people are actually going to reply to the prompt.

Also, I'd eventually like someone else to step up and do some as well. I enjoy responding to them, and that's difficult when its your own prompt.

so you know, i've been thinking all week about paradoxes, and i've come up with nothing good to write about. i think i need a prompt like "green" or "apples" or something lame to kick my butt into gear.

I can come up with a prompt for this coming week, maybe we can trade off weeks or something.
