There are never contradictions.
If you think there are, check your premises.
Every event, including "free will" is causally determined by a chain of past events. This doesn't mean that there is anything like fate or God, It just so happens that everything that happens is a reaction to what came before it. There can be no contradictions. Nothing can be both A and not A. The only time ambivalence seems to exist is in human cognitive processes and, in the end, the electro-chemical events you call thoughts are subject to natural laws too. Nothing happens in a vacuum; C follows B follows A. Nothing only half happens and NOTHING is in conflict with itself.
Other posters have answered with reflections on antagonism and conflict and ignored the question you actually asked. Regardless of what else is under the sun or moon, the law of non-contradiction stands: A = A. If you think you've found a contradiction, CHECK YOUR PREMISES.

they are the most interesting but painful part, who writes is either full of contraddictions, I guess the aim is to solve them, but how a contraddiction can be solved? A contra-diction, from latin contra-dicere, is a statement or a judgment in which I claim to affirm together, in the same time and in the same relation, a meaning and its contrary. it's hot but cold, I'm good but bad. All contraddcitions are always appearent (for example when I say that a statement is true when it's false and false when it's true, I'm always dividing the truth from the false). So a good way to solve them is to recognize that they're just appearent, it's hot and cold, not because there is no difference beetween the hot and the cold, but maybe because I have a cold and even if outside is very cold, I'm feeling very hot. So that I always should consider in which conditions I am A and in which I'm not A, even if I feel that A and not A are present at the same time (it would be no problem if it's really like that, I mean no separation beetwen the contraries, because I would not recognize them as contraries). Why do we have to deal with this problem? I think it is the structure of reality in this world. If we had no time and no separation beetween the contraries we wouldn't live in this way. The aim of philosophy is indeed the reduction of all oppositions into a spiritual or individual unity.
P.s Sorry for my freaky english.

look at your question.
"Why is life full of contradictions?"
Seems simple enough doesnt it?
Well in this case, your question is gonna represent life. This life i just recognized was created by somebody i dont know who I am responding too. This life i am talking about appears to be full of contradictions but doesnt know why.
Life is only contradicting because people are stupid. We all tend to ignore the simple routes and tend to make knots in our lives that we try to get out of. Play with some string or fishing line and you'll see what i mean.

Because humans in hurry to make conclusions...Conclusion itself may well be a source of contradictions, and very likely it is.Am I concluding here?...nope just inviting to check it up, why not? But do not conclude while it becomes obvious, just softly shift in non conclusion mode, have a courage. And , yes, Life does not have a contradictions, mind does, mind creates it...and life reflect our twists by manifesting it, just for those who has a contradictions within...the rest lives relatively happy....Rest is just a few...

There is only contradiction when both true and false declare to be correct. There is only truth. Not different versions of the truth. Getting to the truth or getting to non-contradiction (absence of falsehood) is challenging. Life is full of challenges.

Because people have different sides. Nothing in life is 1 dimensional. Like I'm scared of hights but I go on roller coasters with friends.
People respond to things differently at different times. Maybe it's not life that is full of contradictions, but people.

because if all contradictions were eliminated life would falter and cease to exist. it is the continuous yearning for the light that makes life more interesting. come to think of it, if there were no contradictions and paradox what would happen to humanity? our choices will be confined to just one not knowing the other side of evil or good.

Because the entire universe is based upon polar opposites.
...that's why is seems like life is full of contradictions.

Becuase many of us a raised with the mind set that life is supposed to be fair. It is not. Life is either something you take charge of, or something you let abuse you. Get an education, stay healthy and smart, eat well, love when you can with all that you are. Trust no one completly, and be your own best freind.
