Paradox Reflection

Paradox: "We shout that we are a nation of laws not men- and then proceed to break every law we can if we get away with it"

        This paradox is almost an everyday thing. People claim that our country fought for freedom and we have our fair laws and equal rights. However though, sometimes those same people break the law whenever they get. Sometimes it's not even citizens! Sometimes law enforcements do the same thing! Therefore, I think this is almost an everyday thing. I've seen people break laws on videos and in real life. Nothing to major though.



       This is a paradox I can relate to in different ways. One, our everyday citizens. We tend to say we love this country but then break the laws it enforces. They would especially break it if they got a free get away. Like the movie the purge. So many people went out to do crime and notorious thing's. Another thing is the law enforcements of this country do it! Shooting unarmed civilians! They shouldn't even breaking the laws if they enforce them, but they do. Most of the time they can get away with it to because of who they are.



Second Paradox: "We spend our time searching for security, and hate it when we get it."


         The paradox right here goes throughout our nation. People look for a home, job, car, etc. Then when they get it, they complain about it. They hate it or it annoys them. Even if it's given to them for free. All they do is start complaining and say how much they hate the place. However, the owner that lets them stay doesn't kick them out,  they let them stay; forgive and forget. It's madness sometimes. If someone spent their half their life looking for a job or home, why complain about it? That's the question, we don't know.


        I can relate to this personally. I knew family members that did it. Unfortunately they passed away, but it was very similar. One would spend all of his days looking for a job, then when he got one, he complained about how much he didn't like it. He'd live with my other relative and they got along, but they argued a lot to. However, no one ever got kicked out or left in the argument. They just forgave each other and got along again. It was kind of like an everyday thing. Complaints went on and on, but now they are in peace.
