A paradox is in contrary to expectations. It may also refer to perceived opinion or existing belief. It is a statement which includes ultimate truth but is self-contradictory. To make the reader think in an innovative way, a paradox is used.

Few examples of paradox are:

“I can resist anything but temptation.” – Oscar Wilde

Therefore, best definition of paradox is the pairing of opposites.
