Paradoxes

I may have used the term "paradox" in a previous post. Some of my viewers (meaning you) may wonder what on God's green Earth I'm talking about. There are many definitions of the word "paradox." One way to describe a paradox is that it is a contradictory statement. For example, "This sentence is false." It cannot be true and false at the same time, therefore it is a paradox.

Another example of the definition of "paradox" is that it is a situation with a counterintuitive outcome. One easy way to understand this is to drink a lot of water. This will cause you to become thirsty, but the exact opposite of this outcome should be happening. Using common sense, it would seem that your thirst would be quenched after drinking a large amount of water. So far, there is no explanation for this quite unusual outcome.

A third example of a paradox is "a claim that two contradictory ideas are true." One example of this is that not having a fashion sense is a fashion. Obviously, not having a fashion sense shouldn't be a fashion. There is really nothing we can do about this paradox.

One might wonder how many different definitions I can give of the word "paradox." Like I said before, there are many definitions of this word. If you have any different definitions of the word "paradox," please post them in the comments. Thank you.
