Paradox or Mystery

Some one said, ‘a worker never grumbles and a grumbler never works,’ how true. We also find people who go about bashing up other people without realizing that they could die at any moment. There are some people who are very strict with others and very lenient with themselves. There are some who are very pious and religious in the society and in the public but at the personal level... The word ‘paradox’ really fascinates me; not because it is word used rarely in our circles or a rare experience that happens once in a blue moon, but because it is one of the most common experiences in life.  These are some paradoxical experiences of life and they are not mere paradoxes of life rather they are events in the mystery of life. I believe what Gabriel Marcel (1889-1973) a French philosopher makes sense here, for him life is a mystery that needs to be understood and not a problem that can be solved.
