Paradox

After Confucius (551–479 BC) "未知生, 焉知死"(Mr. Con does not speak English), many philosophers ponder the matters of reality, the reality of uncertainty; however, the uncertainty of uncertainty does not generate certainty and hence renders philosophy not provable. We know what we know and we know we don’t really know for sure, like the sound of silence or, what I am going to say is true, every thing I said before is not true. But, there is one thing for sure, death; death is real, is true, that we know for sure. So I say, I die so I exist, I exist so I die.

(a quick note for later use, include Con, Kant, Quine, "I am not provable" -- (forgot who said that))

thanks for stopping by--
paradox is a man-made thing
mainly due to language and its rules
and limitations set therein;
in nature, i have yet to find a
genuine paradox

Self-referential paradox(e.g. Russell's paradox) in general is a clear proof that the world is total, one can not rule out anything from the world, nothing is above or below the world,
it simple is.
