PARADOXITIS

I was looking in my Bible the other day for paradoxes and when I opened it up I noticed on the first page this statement; 'All rights reserved. No part may be reproduced in any manner without permission in writing from the Publisher.' Do they mean God or some schmuck in the legal department of this printing company? Who do these people pay the royalties to? Oh crap!!….that’s another paradox! We live in a world of swarming, irritating, stinging paradoxes. One of many definitions is:…..A supposition that if one of two simultaneous assumptions leads to a contradiction, the other assumption is also disproved and leads to paradoxical consequences. This one almost made my brain bleed. Marriage is full of paradoxes like she will always assume I’m wrong and I will always assume that she knows I’m always right. My head is starting to thump now. Anyway, we are surrounded by paradoxes everyday. Many of them you will find on this blog site in regards to intellect and moronism. Also, politics is like a massive Petri dish squirming with paradoxes when it comes to legislation and bureaucracies……the left hand investigating what the right hand is doing. The one paradox that sticks out in my mind from when I was young was what my Mom used to tell me…….”Don't go near the water till you have learned how to swim.”
