The word I love today.


An enigma can either be a puzzling or inexplicable occurrence, a person of puzzling or contradictory character, a saying, question or picture containing a hidden meaning or a German-built enciphering machine developed for commercial use in the early 1920s.

It can also refer to someone who is puzzling, ambiguous or inexplicable or a Gordian knot which is something sometimes used as a metaphor for an intractable problem, solved by a bold stroke.

I think the word enigma itself is an enigma. The very definitions of it are so diverse.

The way that it sounds even lends to its mysterious connotations. Some of its synonyms are words like perplexity, teaser and mystification. Man I'm really loving this word right now.

Now in current times lets try to figure out what is an enigma?

An enigma can be male or female. It can be an idea you don't seem to understand. It can be a book, a memory, a song, a voice message. An enigma can be just about anything these days and boy are there a lot of them.

I am riddled by all things enigmatic. Enigma's follow me wherever I go. Am I myself an enigma? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, are you an enigma?

Likes are you haven't. Well actually you just did. What did you come up with? Was the thought a complete contradiction? Confusing isn't it? Yes I know, your brain hurts so I will stop.

But I will leave you with this. An enigma is that feeling you get when you know you are doing everything wrong and everything is coming out right.

The end.
