how is it an oxymoron?
it should be paradox ,my school...
The words are not placed side bu side,it cant be oxymoron...
pls,make an optimum correction.
thanks
This was supposed to be paradox not oxymoron
Oxymoron is a literally context which places two Contrary words side by side carelessly
E.g he' happily sad
While paradox is almost the same but the difference is that it's place two Contrary words in a line
E.g willingly to die but not ready to give up
