irony. what do you make of this term? dictionary.com describes it as, "an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected."
last night i blogged about words of wisdom from a church sign, namely, biting my tongue, and how i typically do not need help with following this guideline. you would think that i would wake up in the morning feeling the same way, except that what i didn't expect happened, and so i heard the little voice in my head repeating, nearly screaming, those words for me to BITE MY TONGUE, and bite it hard.
i guess you could call that ironic, or maybe just a reminder that the road map to self-discovery is ever on the move, evolving. or perhaps alanis morissette said it best with her notable lyric, "life has a funny way of sneaking up on you."
she definitely did say it best. it's ironic how well she said it. lol!
ReplyDeletei have moments like this too. can't really think of an example, but it's like, the feeling that once you've figured something out, you realize, eh, maybe you DON'T have it all figured out.
my english teacher gave the example of exactly this--irony--as being, walking down the street with your head up high; that minute you don't watch where you're going cause you feel great about yourself, is when you fall FLAT on your face.
life is good. ;)
that is the best analogy! LOL!
