When you view the meaning of a paradox, your brain is on a razor's edge.
Depending on what side you fall, the paradox is decidedly true or false.
Example:  This statement is false.

Infinity is like a paradox.  Consider the following number line:

     +--+--+--+-->
     0  1  2  3

From one point of view, sitting on the number line.  You start running from
the origin to the right, 1, 2, 3, ...  You go on to infinity.  However, from
another point of view, this is always considered ONE number line.  A single
defined entity.  Defined, yet undefined (unbounded), by definition.

Getting back to paradox, here's a test of your understanding:

Paradox is not this sentence.  True or false?
