Enjoy.
This apparently, will be a koan of sorts for the two of you.
So tell us how you, personally, have solved what we call a contradiction and you call a koan? That is if you are saying you hold both these concepts as true.
I solve it by saying that your latter concept is not necessarily true, i.e. it can be false in many cases. As such there is no contradiction. I also think your former concept has errors but I'll save them for another time.
