Is a paradox just concept that arises out of mistakes in human logic or are there things that exist in the real world that can be considered paradoxes?

My eyes aren't blue, they're green. A lot of people have green eyes and red hair.

yes
A bra has two cups yet is a singularity but a pair of pants also has two legs but is considered a duality.

A paradox requires two beliefs which are in conflict.
The grandfather paradox is an example. If I went back in time and killed my grandfather, I wouldn't be born. However, as I left the present time to go back in time, I wouldn't exist in the present anyway. My birth would be irrelevant as I would have moved through time. As I would be alive in the past, there would be no need to be alive in the present.

Thats a really good question I think a paradox is just another way of categorizing the things we can't understand. Ex: What came first the chicken or the egg? Why even bother cluttering your mind with these sorts of things. I like to eat Chicken and I like to eat eggs why should anyone care which came first. :)

Lois Lowry - The Giver Avi - The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle Cormac McCarthy - The Border Trilogy Markus Zusak - The Book Thief And I know people have already recommended them, but I'd like to doubly recommend Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Poisonwood Bible.
