Pers, can you give me an example of a paradox?

When a couple agrees to a divorce, it’s a split decision.
To go from HERE to ETERNITY you must drop a letter, change a letter, or add a letter in each step to spell a new word. You can rearrange letters in any step. Your answer may be different from mine.
NOTE FROM NOAH Into each life some rain must fall, But forty days sure cast a pall. Go make an ark, You said. You got it. But Lord, it’s damp, and dark, and hot. It won’t last long, this damp old ark. I need to find a spot to park. How can we dry our garb if You Don’t make the sky above turn blue? The odor — God — it’s not too nice, Much like a pig sty, and the mice! How long, O Lord, how long must we Sail on, sail on, on this dark sea? Your plan, O Lord, is, well — all wet, If what we see is what we get. Oh God, oi vey, what is your plan? I sent a dove out to find land. Pray, did you let it come to grief? Oh, God, look, in its beak: a leaf! —Charles Joyner
