Is never say never a paradox?

Answer 1

When someone says he "never" can do something, it means he thinks it's impossible to do it. But nothing is impossible and people can do things that they thought they never would do. So this phrase suggests that we shouldn't say never to anything.

It's funny because this sentence already tells you never to do something. I guess it's better if the only thing we say never is "never to say never" :)

Answer 2

No, it is a simple logical statement. As you will note. I haven't mentioned 'that word', and at no point in time will I ever say 'that word'.

it is an instruction, albeit a hypocritical* one. telling someone else to never use the word never, however, it makes you look like an idiot for being a hypocrite.

*FYI hypocrite means you SAY one thing, but do the opposite, hypocritical means said action makes the speaker a hypocrite

Answer 4

you shouldn't say never because when you say never you might be wrong and whatever you say never like it is never gonna happen it might happen.

Answer 5

Never Say Never came from Justin's heart and i love it and i would say it does kind of teach you stuff but no it is not a moral.
