The value of paradox
We are all born, yet all destined to die. Then what is the value in living? Theoretically, we may understand time is an illusion, yet we can see ourselves getting older. We have children, hoping to instill in them values and behaviour we believe to be valuable, yet they go on to live their lives as they will – even though they are the product of us.
Paradox is everywhere we look, and causes consternation at every turn as we grapple to make sense and meaning of our lives. Paradox, however, tells us that making sense and not making sense are equally valid as both states have an existence. And perhaps there is a synthesis between the two – a state of sensible non-sense.
Edward Lear was a Victorian artist and writer, perhaps best known for his “Owl and the Pussycat” poem. He wrote ‘non-sense’ that is understandable and entertaining to this day, a non-sense that we can enjoy and relate to.
Here is a story. A judge was listening to a plaintiff lay out his case, and at the end the judge said, “Yes, you are right.” The defendant then laid out his case, to which the judge also stated, “Yes, you are right.’ This caused a commotion in the courtroom and a member of the public cried out, “This does not make sense. They both cannot be right!” To which the judge replied, “Yes, you are right.”
The desire to make sense of all we encounter limits our ability to live since we then try to compare, contrast and analyse rather than simply experience. Some scientists say that love is nothing more than a series of chemical reactions in the brain and body. While this may be true, it is also true that love is much more, and causes us to behave in supposedly illogical ways as well as motivating us greatly.'Making sense' of love in no way tells us about it.
By allowing ourselves to not understand when we are confused or uncertain we allow a new space to develop, one in which synthesis can take place. And it is often that this synthesis is the answer for which we have been looking.
Paradox can be a great teacher if we allow it time, rather than rushing to find solutions and instant gratification.

Quote of the month:
"Good humor is a paradox. The unexpected juxtaposition of the reasonable next to the unreasonable."
