Any text lacking inconsistencies is not speaking about the human experience.
This is the reason I smile when people call out the inconsistencies in holy books.
There is inconsistency in our lived reality, so why will a chronicle of that reality be consistent?
There is inconsistency in any historical tract. If there isn’t, there is no truth in it.
Science has proven without a doubt that smoking tobacco is harmful, but there are many who smoke till a ripe old age. The inconsistency here is not an aberration, it is life. The two realities exist.
When I hear a story that makes perfect sense, I know it has been refined to fit my world view, not necessarily reality.
I will go deeper on this topic someday. But today, I have some inconsistencies at hand requiring discernment.
