Isn't it weird how the truth of matters often seems paradoxical when realized?

Question

The best soldiers do not act like soldiers.

The best knowledge cannot be taught.

Living a good life is extremely simple, yet almost impossible.

weird, huh?

Answer 1

Weird?

Not if it happens enough.
Existence itself is paradoxical.... which if nothing else is the clearest indicator of how utterly absurd and meaningless it all is.
The funnier things are those which aren't quite so paradoxical.... like the way that people who cling more strongly to the concept of "truth" usually advocate the more nonsensical world-views.

Answer 2

Truth is not a single parameter function. It is a
multi-dimentional system. What you accept as
truth depends on the angle from which you view.
There are many levels of understanding for any
information to be known as true.

Let us take the simple case of some thing
happening in a house. When some thing happens, three questions arise - what, how and why.

You will get an answer to the first question within a
short period of time. It is physical in nature.

You have to spend more time to answer the second question. It is mental in nature.

Different persons may give different answers for the third question. But you will never get a true
answer for it - it is philosophical in nature.

Answer 3

Maybe the word paradox is an oxymoron.
