Paradox

A paradox is a logically self-contradictory statement or a statement that runs contrary to one's expectation. It is a statement that, despite apparently valid reasoning from true premises, leads to a seemingly self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion. A paradox usually involves contradictory-yet-interrelated elements that exist simultaneously and persist over time. They result in "persistent contradiction between interdependent elements" leading to a lasting "unity of opposites".In logic, many paradoxes exist that are known to be invalid arguments, yet are nevertheless valuable in promoting critical thinking, while other paradoxes have revealed errors in definitions that were assumed to be rigorous, and have caused axioms of mathematics and l… more »

"How the events of the 13th century are 
Remembered today, and does it really have 
Any bearing on today society"

A country splintered by religion 
Torn by anarchy
Herretics burned for their derision 
Of the holy See

Seven, Hundred Years on
World, do you recall
Just what happened then 
Gentlemen and Gentlewomen 
Let into the pyre

Seven, Hundred Years ago
Let's think 
Images of war

Flashing swords, burning homes 
The Albigensian Crusade
See the ruins upon the hills 
Just seven hundred Years on

So now in nineteen eighty nine 
How much do we know 
Except for learned scholars 
No-one knows at all

Blind 
Apathy 
Forgotten
A part of history

Flashing swords, burning homes 
The Albigensian Crusade
See the ruins upon the hills 
Lust seven hundred Years on

To blind to see that religion's free 
Believe what you believe
Established Churches still don't agree 
Seven hundred Years on

Heresy a different route 
From mother church in Rome 
See us, we're hurting no-one 
Why can't you leave us alone

Hunted
Pursued 
Burnt 
Marched into the fire 
Oh then!
