Life is contradictory.
What is good today is wrong tomorrow.
We live in a dual world, where extremes end up touching, but above all, where nothing is what it seems.
Here are seven of those counter-intuitive things that go unnoticed and will blow your mind.
1. Questions give more information than answers.
Behind every question is an intention. And that intention reveals more information than the answer.
- When someone asks you, “How old are you?” they intend to know if you are in the age range for being a possible romantic partner. (Not always, but sometimes :-)
- When someone asks you, “How long have you been doing this? They intend to discover your trustworthiness because they don’t trust your skills or abilities.
- When someone asks you, “How much is this place worth?” they are telling you that they are interested in investing their capital, and depending on the type of property they have asked about, more or less how much that capital represents.
