It is said that human beings are a paradox. Both a physical and
spiritual, (multi-dimensional), being. And therefore, our world is filled with paradoxes. Situations which work against themselves, and are self-defeating. Where two things can sound contradictory,
yet both be true. Do you find this to be true?

As for your statement that humans are a paradox is true. An example is, Humanity with it's intelligence and sophistication managed to find cures to many illnesses in the world yet it is also humanity's intelligence that leads to the destruction of Life as we know it., example war, bombs...etc.

Yes...I understand a paradox. Time paradoxes are the most I love. You have defined a paradox exactly, with very few words: "Where two things (or ideas) can sound contradictory, yet both be true". Interesting question, my friend. I wish all questions were like this.

Zeno aside, I think I'll reference Gilbert and Sullivan instead...
(puzzled.) Now let me see how that can be
I’m twenty one that’s very clear
Moreover it is plain to me
Man has birthday once a year
To solve this quip I see no way
All common sense the statement mocks
I beg of you without delay
Explain this startling paradox.

Yes, I do understand the concept.
"Ultimately the paradoxes of life make fools of us all. So if we would be wise we should study life’s paradoxes and confront our abject foolishness head on."

Yes, like a Lucid Dream, when you are fully conscious that you are dreaming, only in this case it is an absolute kick in the pants!!!

Paradox is easy... two doctors (get it? pair of docs? hahahaha) ok that was stupid...but yes I find that to be true

I do and do not. Because nothing in this world is absolute, including this statement itself.

military intelligence...perhaps 'nuff said' i'll add as only an example:1st day "oh i love my creator,my creator loves me."2nd day perhaps for us we count it as two thousand years later...anyway "killing my neighbor will make my creator happy,so happy i'll get rewarded."
