The Paradoxical CommandmentsThe Paradoxical Commandments is both a poem and a book by Kent Keith. He wrote the poem as an undergraduate, and it has spread around the world often in slightly altered form. Two decades after writing the original poem, Rozier wrote a book of the same title expanding on the themes of the poem. According to Websters, a paradox is: "A seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true." http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=paradox And a commandment is: " an authoritative direction or instruction to do something " http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=command Therefore, a Paradoxical Commandment is: An authoritave direction or instruction to do something that seems contradictory, but may nonetheless be true. The Paradoxical Commandments provide inspiration to those who are facing the trials of life and who may be struggling to hang onto their principles in the face of change. It is a set of maxims that help keep the reader focused on the goal and willing to endure what may be perceived as failure by some for the greater good of moving forward in a creative life lived with love,integrity, passion and compassion as the central motivational drivers.
