why is man called the most paradoxical of all animals
Answers
A paradox, also known as an antinomy, is a logically self-contradictory statement or a statement that runs contrary to one's expectation. It is a statement that, despite apparently valid reasoning from true premises, leads to a seemingly self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion.
Answer:
As aptly spoken by Bob Moorehead, “The paradox of our time is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers. Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less. We have bigger houses and smaller families. More conveniences, but less time. More medicine, but less wellness.”
Will Smith once said that, “We spend money we haven’t earned on things we don’t need to impress people who do not care.” And it’s phenomenal how the same technology that brings us close to those who are far away takes us far away from the people that are actually close. 30 billion WhatsApp messages are sent per day, but 48%of people say that they feel lonelier in general.
The paradox of our times is that we have more degrees but less sense. More knowledge but less judgement. More experts but less solutions. We have guided missiles but misguided men.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
Do we actually thrive on this paradox? Doesn’t it seem that we’ve tried to clean up the air but polluted our soul, we’ve split the atom but not our prejudice, and we’re aiming for higher incomes but we have lower morals? We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
