why do you have to think so danm much?
you keep me awake at night and dont let me sleep
and
you confuse me all the freeking time
pick a state of mind happy, sad, which ever and fucking stick with it!

[Silverwinged]

telling your mind to pick a state of mind...

OOOH PARADOX.
drink something warm and then try to sleep again.
or read a book... that usually helps.

thats not a paradox!

[Silverwinged]

sure it is.
your mind cannot pick a state of mind... because it already is a mind.
get where i'm coming from?

[~god~]

then its a contradiction.
not a paradox

[Silverwinged]

Its a paradox because the whole statement just goes around in a big circle.
IT MAKES SENSE TO ME OKAY!

but you agreed to it. your statement does not hold the truth. therefore it is not a paradox.

[Silverwinged]

Not all statements of paradox hold the truth.

for example: The strongest shield that can never be destroyed even by the strongest sword; and the strongest sword that can destroy even the strongest shield.
