And speaking of work, I believe we have an e-mail inquiry from our loyal associate in the east. What has he to say to us today, Thoroah?

And speaking of work, I believe we have an e-mail inquiry from our loyal associate in the east. What has he to say to us today, Thoroah?

THOROAH: R says, "Greetings, Tomas. I celebrate my association and friendship with you. In fact, last week our visit gave me much to ponder and I return to where we left off. I was struck with the irony of your gentle reproof of my estimation of play over its more celebrated sibling work, as I am more accustomed to being reproofed by my mortal friends for doing just the opposite. Hence my question, What is it in the finite experience which gives rise to the appearance of paradox and how might it be related to irony?"

TOMAS: Good lad, come and sit next to me for a moment and we will ponder this together. Paradox. Paradox provides balance. Paradox is the pendulum on the clock of time which swings one way to show you to look at the moment, only to turn again and do an about face to show you yet another look at another moment. And yet and still they are all a part of time and eternity; therefore, what may be true for you today could be not true for you tomorrow. What is true for one person today, is not necessarily the same truth as for another. This is part of paradox, because both can be true, even when they are on opposite sides of the clock.
