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.

As you get closer and closer to Paradise, perhaps the pendulum's swing will enclose itself such that when you have attained perfection, ultimate perfection, there is no margin for error, no waiting. Time will stand still, and there will be only Truth. Not what is true here and what is true there, but eternal and ultimate Truth.

And as for irony, I am not familiar with irony sufficiently to discuss it. Why don't you let me ponder on your [[word]] in order that I may have a more seasoned response for you when we speak again, and in this way I will be able to entice your continued [[presence]] here in our configuration, even if it is in altered [[spacetime|time and space]? I'll get back to you on that one.

THOROAH: It's one of my favorite forms of humor. I enjoy the ironies of life. They can be humorous. I suppose that depends on how much good cheer one has.
