Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

From "Song of Myself"

One of my absolute favorite quotes from the poem. My goodness, I love it when you bring up good poetry. Our tastes are so similar.
One of my favorites:
"What do you think has become of the young and old men?
And what do you think has become of the women and children?
They are alive and well somewhere,
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death,
And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the
end to arrest it,
And ceas'd the moment life appear'd."
Next time someone asks me how an atheist can believe in more than what the 6 or 7% of our brains allow us to learn I shall use "Song Of Myself" to flick them in the funny bone.
All hail Walt Whitman.

No, U do not Contradict Urself, at all, U merely Present the UNIVERSAL PERSPECTIVE.

I think everybody does. Accidental, or possibly on purpose.

If you're a living version of the Bible then I would say yes.

You sound like you've run out of decent questions to ask, just like me.

I wouldn't know since I cannot discern; I don't personally know you.
