Postmo sees life as contradicting and not easily reduced to logical consistency while leaving it undecided and ambivalent. No way of discriminating between real and apparent, each suggestion is always encountered by opposite suggestion, and to the extent that all forms of pleasure reap despair. I am thankful that with Christian faith as foundation I grew more and more comfortable with paradoxes, those that seem contradicting yet in essence are not. 'It got over the difficulty of combining furious opposites, by keeping them both, and keeping them both furious.' (GK Chesterton) While the rest sees extreme ends in life as not able to stand each other, in Christian faith one extreme involves, compliments and must stand with the other.
