What is a "fluke"?

A fluke is an unexpected or fortunate event that happens by chance, often in a way that seems accidental or unlikely. It can refer to situations where something happens in a way that was not planned or anticipated, but it results in a positive or surprising outcome. Flukes can occur in many different contexts, from sports to everyday life, and typically involve an element of luck or randomness.

paradoja

paradoja

What is a "paradox"?

A paradox is a statement that seems to contradict itself but often reveals a deeper truth. It challenges logic, common sense, or expectations by presenting two seemingly incompatible ideas that somehow coexist. For example, "Less is more" may appear contradictory, yet it suggests that simplicity can lead to greater effectiveness. Paradoxes are commonly used in literature and philosophy to provoke thought and encourage deeper analysis of complex ideas.
