A paradox tells us that we are facing an apparently true statement but that in reality also supposes a logical self-contradiction that does not agree at all with what common sense tells us, that is, for those who still scratch their heads with their index fingers because the thing is not clear to them yet, a paradox is for example that my sister has spent her whole life affirming and maintaining that she would marry a tall man , skinny, with green eyes, when reality indicates the opposite of what he always maintained or proposed and that is that he fell in love with a short, robust man with dark eyes.
Of course, the paradox encompasses these rather frivolous and secondary questions, just as there are other paradoxes that involve situations a little more decisive and important than what I proposed to you.
Depending on the veracity or the conditions that make them up, paradoxes may be true, those that only seem to be true, although in reality what they hold may be true or false.. Among these, the most representative turns out to be the birthday that he proposes: what is the probability that two people who are in a meeting will have their birthday on the same day?
Then there are those that are called true paradoxes, because they simply contradict each other, a clear and categorical example turns out to be the paradox of luck, which holds that it is bad luck to be superstitious.
And finally they are those that will depend largely on the interpretation given to end up being paradoxes or not. Usually, are based on ambiguous definitions and they are usually a literary resource of excellence adopted by many writers. Boixnet's paradox that he proposes: I think, therefore I exist, especially when I don't think, don't I exist? It is one of the most representative to illustrate the latter case.
