I bet you’re a fan of Alanis Morissette. But you nailed it right. Anyway life is the balance of opposites, when it doesn’t seem to be on the level, there’s the struggle and struggling is our way of life in this planet. Irony is contained in life’s cycles and you have initially opened the beauty of it.

Very interesting!
A very mind-boggling article which i would say is an eye-opener to most. I guess much of these situations arise due to one being not content with what he has or what is being offered before him.
Your right most of these are very ironic. My favorite was the phone and the bathroom. It happens to me all the time.
Excellent!! Love your humour.
Ur funny
Oh, I know thep hone and the bathroom one, I usually just carry the phone with me.
I think your favourite philsopher is Murphy.
Ruby, if I carry the phone with me into the bathroom, then it will ring after I’ve finished my bath, and I won’t be able to find the phone because I left it in the bathroom.
