Paradoooox

If you say that balance is the most crucial thing out there, and if that actually turns out to be the case, then how would you justify the following statement without getting into a paradoxical trouble:

“Balance shall be maintained under any circumstances.”

If you think about it, the opposite of “balance” is “imbalance,” and if you wish to maintain balance under any circumstance, you must also balance the “balance” and “imbalance.” Therefore, you must take the mid-point of this “balance” and “imbalance.” But notice that, the moment you do it, you must recognize imbalance in some circumstances (because you took the mid-point of “balance” and “imbalance”). So the statement, “balance shall be maintained under any circumstances,” becomes self-contradictory, for you are not balancing out everything!

To resolve this paradox, you must assume that the sentence, “balance shall be maintained” to be independent and thus excluded from the sentence itself.
By adding some revision, the statement should be “Balance shall be maintained under any circumstances, except for this particular statement.”

Just wanted to talk about it because this was something that has been bugging me for a while whenever someone said it.
