Maybe trying to wrap your mind around irreconcilable paradoxes is enlightening. Maybe it's worthwhile trying to understand what enlightenment really is. Learning to accept that it doesn't necessarily fulfill idealist expectations. Or that it is more elusive than we realize, and many so-called enlightened were really short of the mark and self-deluded as to their attainment. And therein lay their downfall.
