Paradox

📝 Quick Definition

A statement that seems self-contradictory but reveals truth

📚 Detailed Explanation

A paradox is a statement or situation that appears contradictory or absurd but may actually be true or reveal a deeper truth. Unlike oxymorons, paradoxes involve entire statements or concepts.

💡 Example

Less is more. The only constant is change. I must be cruel to be kind.

⚠️ Common Mistake/Confusion
