A PACK OF CONTRADICTIONS

The word and its meaning are correlated. Words take deeper roots in our minds day by day, and as we grow older, these roots get so deeper that we can't easily recall the opposite image. But, through its connection with letters and the way they are pronounced as well as symbols and their significance, the memory is able to create new modes of thinking and data integration to form a real method of assimilation.

Also, this memory gets active and reacts to dissimilarities, and because humans are naturally attracted to unusual stimuli, they easily yield to values presented in an unconventional manner, in an attempt to figure out their meaning and reach satisfactory results. The senses play a crucial role in understanding and helping recognize and categorize things in order to comprehend their meaning.

This pack of contradictions is an attempt to break the barrier and reach the moral values presented to you through their opposites.
