What an imperfect gingerbread man! 

I like him though. He's a lot like us humans with our imperfections and ambivalence. His lack of facial expression conveys the indifference and bah-hum-bug-ness we sometimes experience this time of year despite the festivities, decorations, special get-togethers, and generosity that we also encounter.

The philosophy of both yoga and Tao teach us that the essence of life is paradox. That our preferences and personality traits lie on a continuum with opposite qualities on either side. Hot-Cold; Smooth-Sharp, Loud-Quiet; Moving-Still. Carl Rogers related it to the counseling process. He said "The curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
