It is not a paradox. What does it mean? Except for the explanation "This is not a contradiction"...

In addition to meaning contradictory words, paradox also means nonsense.

Epigram Explanation:

Epigram is an important term in English rhetoric, a branch of English linguistics. The English definition is: short poem or saying expressing an idea in a clever and amusing way. That is, short and witty words, famous sayings and aphorisms.

For example:

`More haste, less speed' is a well-known paradox.

'More haste, less speed' is a well-known idiom.

Therefore, in addition to the fact that this sentence is not contradictory, it can also be considered that it is not a meaningful saying (this is not a famous aphorism)

If you are not satisfied with my answer, please wait a moment, I am asking an American friend of mine.

My friend’s reply to me:

A paradox is a thing that seems to contradict itself. I was just telling you that it is very uncommon in daily life to use that word – I might hear it once per year. You will see it much more often if you read books.

So, and example: the Atkins diets is paradoxical: you can eat lots of fatty foods, and you will lose fat.

I was also saying that you will tend to hear it in philosophical conversations – conversations about the nature of life, the world, and meaning. Philosophy is the study of the way of looking at things.

This is an American attitude towards life and a way of expressing philosophical views in spoken language
