Paradox

Two parallel lines intersecting. It's when you know you're right but also wrong.

Damn, the lives of Rao and Anuja is quite a paradox.

Paradox of the responsible adult

"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.

Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.

Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.

The Third Man Paradox

This is an oldie but a goodie.

The Third Man Paradox

Theist "I think God is real because thus!"

Atheist "I don't think God is real because thus!"

Third Man "I can prove whether it's real or not to both of you immediately."
