DICHOTOMY

Dichotomy is an interesting word.  Use it.  It'll make you sound smart.  In the following, it means something that has two seemingly contradictory qualities.  

Here's an example:  Let's suppose that on a, say, Thursday morning, a man agreed to squeal on his friend, a wanted man, and tip off the police to his whereabouts in exchange for money.  Let's also suppose that on Friday, a man who was also a friend of both of them, told the police he did not know the wanted man at all - for fear he would be implicated as an accomplice. Now, let's suppose that in between, on Thursday evening, all three of them met for a dinner celebration.  

One of the three, the one who ratted on the wanted man, ended up killing himself, he was so embarrassed and ashamed of what he had done.  The man who swore he never knew the wanted man, ended up being the wanted man's BFF.  This man was designated to carry on the work of the wanted man.

Such a dichotomy!  What was the difference in the two men that effected their outcome?   I'd say, repentance.  Any bad thing can be forgiven.  Anything. 

The wanted man was, of course, Jesus of Nazareth; the Christ.
