Spontaneity
April 7th, 2008A well-known double bind is the request
Be spontaneous!
A friend of mine recently put a neat twist on it by wrapping it up in a question:
You are spontaneous, aren’t you?
The many facets of self-contradictory statements sure understand to entertain a (free) liar’s heart. I replied:
Of course, I am so much spontaneous that I am already spontaneously spontaneous.

The most annoying aspect of annoying people is that it’s still you who gets annoyed. Nobody knows better to annoy you than you yourself.
And as far as I am concerned I am an expert.
