Marc asked:

Couldn't life be defined as a Paradox? In other words, balanced between certainty and uncertainty,
etc.

============

Not really a paradox. A paradox is a statement which looks like a contradiction, but it is founded on
truth. We seem to be certain of many things, such as the past, other minds, the nature of reality but
the more we investigate our beliefs the more uncertain we become.
