Do you really believe that, or do you in fact believe that you sometimes tell lies?
That was not a personal statement! My lie : truth ratio is probably about average. 70 odd years of practice has informed me that lying about anythjng that has a potential for adverse consequences - for oneself or others - at least nips ones arse 99% of the time. Especially if one possesses anything resembling a conscience!

Actually, after posting that, I began to wonder if it were not closer to being an  oxymoron. One definition of paradox is
Quote:a seemingly absurd or contradictory statement or proposition which when investigated may prove to be well founded or true.

(Straight off Google.)
My offering seems to qualify for the first part but definitely not the second.
