Paradox? |
My previous post about the “paradox” of children trying to help out when they are unable to do so etc., caused me to do a little research as to the differentiation between the terms paradox and irony. I remember reading a review of Alanis Morissette‘s “Ironic” where the author questioned Alanis citing examples as ironic when they really weren’t click here. (Don’t think her examples were exactly paradoxes either however.) Hence I was aware that there was some differentiation between the terms but obviously, I never mastered it.
As for defining what is a paradox, think I’ll stay with the Ridge boy waterman’s response that it’s “Two piers.” However, check out the following video that tries to clarify all of this.
