Because everything you can think and experience can only be by you. This is the center of the problem, because no system can be defined from something objective within that system, it has to be from an outer point of view.
Unfortunately if you study all you can you'll find more and more, (as you peel the layers off the onion), that there is no outside.
The air that you breathe is connected to all the air on earth. The space you inhabit is that of the whole universe, the food you eat becomes you in a way, and parts of you are constantly ejected etc.....
There is no real way of telling where you end, and the "non-you" begins.
Therefore there is no outside that can tell you what you are.
That's the problematic.
Heraclite (greek philosopher) has understood this.
So has Lao-Tseu(china) and Osho Rajneesh.

The word is paradoxal, without the c. If they made sense, they would not be paradoxal.

Life is complicated. It is not black and white, but a mixture of many colors. Opposing forces come together and mix in various way. It is a challenging world for the mind, some like simple answers, but this world requires much thought, to really understand it.

I have found this to be the case as well, it's like a sign that let's you know you're near the truth. I don't know why, I guess that is just how the universe is.

A paradox by its very definition does not make sense.So you must be very confused.

They remind us of how ridiculous 98% of what we call our life really is.
