Paradox

Hmmm Paradox! Wat can i say abt this famous english word. i was drawn to this word wen naresh and bhavesh mentioned tht my wishes in my previous post appear to be pardoxical.Yeah i agree with them that i am being paradoxical.Infact most of our actions,thoughts,words are finest examples of paradox.The word paradox has been the darling of many logicians and philospohers. For example lets consider the statement "This sentence is false" . Any sentence is either true or false and let the above mentioned sentence be true then according to the sentence meaning it is false which contradicts our assumption that the sentence is true.Now lets consider the other case that the sentence is false according to the sentence meaning , the meaning of the sentence is that the sentence is true.I guess its a bit a confusing but try to read it once more i am sure everybody appreciates wat i hav been trying to say.A sentence that too a simple one infact can act as a perfect paradoxical one.

People arnd us say one thing and do the exact opposite.Politics is a perfect ground where such instances are numerous.Our PM , who is known to promote merit in the education has now turned into a the forefront supporter of reservation bill.It may be bcoz of the pressure from party or so but still the words of the PM carry a larger weight which goes beyond the reach of the party.In fact its not only reservations, the hike in petrol prices which govt promised in UPA manifesto was the least followed.The governments everywhere in the world are perfect examples of paradox.The governments says it will protect the rights of the people but it is the one which is curbing their rights.The gujarat pogrom,the zimbambwe crisis are spear headed by their respective governments.The governments everywhere, are wedded to their official paraphernelia where their least wry abt their words and their actions.

So after writing this blog i hope i would be a little less paradoxical bcoz one cannot escape from one habits so easily...... Adios

Man i so used to tell sth n do the other which is diametrically opposite. We let conditions and constraints rule our decisions and dont feel it necessary to tread on the path we set out to pave for ourselves. We just try to take the easiest way of the available and emerge out unscathed. Thats wht introduces paradoxical into our repertoire!
