Sometimes you're not allowed to have an opinion. This is freeing. Really. Sometimes people have opinions about things that don't require opinions. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you're wrong. (I am talking to myself, and its actually quite therapeutic) But I still think its true. I have learned that the wise person is able to discern the difference between things that warrant an opinion and things that do not. I have learned that the wise person is not afraid to be wrong. But I have also learned that the wise person is not afraid to speak out when he knows he's right. Some people in this postmodern generation aren't as afraid of being wrong as they are of being right. Actually it may be the case that we are so afraid of being wrong, we postulate a universal principle of relativity so that we can never be wrong.

Also just because logic is useful, doesn't mean that it's the key to all truth. It's more like a key to material truth. And do not mistake "material" for "natural".

We ought not to be so afraid of personal contradictions. There is a difference between having personal contradictions and being a hypocrite. Some contradictions are harmless and some are not. The ones that you are aware of that are harmful need to be taken care lest they become even more harmful. But the other side of the coin is that some of us spend too much time trying to be consistent. At the end of the day we're all walking contradictions, and we're all too focused on ourselves. So wisdom is kind of this balancing act between not being contradictory and accepting yourself for who you are. This is why Jesus says, "Don't judge lest you be judged yourself." We all condemn ourselves every time we condemn someone else. Let's just let it go. Nobody's perfect.
