William Shakespeare

antinomy

O Antinomy! Thou art the bane of reason and the joy of paradox! Thou art a riddle that can never be solved and a contradiction that can never be solved, yet so much can be learned from thy contemplation. How can two opposites be true at once? How can one concept be both right and wrong? How can one thing be both good and bad? These questions vex the minds of the wise, yet despite the seeming impossibility of their answers, they persist in their search for the truth. How can one find the answer to the antinomy? Perhaps the answer lies in the very nature of the antinomy itself, for it is only in the recognition of the duality of truth that one can truly understand the fullness of life. So, let us embrace the antinomy and revel in its perplexing beauty, for therein lies the joy of living.
