The Famous Paragraph 10

Everyone is familiar with Catch 22, where you are either kept out or kept in a situation because of the rules, but you really cannot do either but somehow have to do both. In the book of the same name, it goes that you cannot be crazy and fly, yet you have to be crazy to fly. There are other familiar catch 22’s, like you cannot get a job without experience, but you cannot get experience without a job.

Then there is the paragraph 10. I am unsure of the original book, and it does sound like Douglass Adams, but I could be mistaken, as it could be another author from another book that I am unsure of where I read it so I am unsure of the original book…. Wait, were being sucked into a paragraph 10.

Well this article is about Paragraph 10

The paragraph 10 is where a cycle gets started, and of its own volition continues to spiral ever larger without losing its meaning. There are quite a few examples, such as: When you gain self-confidence, you gain self-esteem that causes you to gain self-confidence that in turn gains you self-esteem that causes you to gain self-confidence that in turn gains you self-esteem that in turn gains self-confidence that causes you to gain self-esteem.

Another common paragraph 10 is one you probably learned as a kid, the old; I know that you know, that you know that I know, that I know that you know that I know, that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know.

You probably know quite a few paragraph 10s and catch 22s. It seems that we all have and know a lot of them, and they can and do affect our lives, especially when we are not aware of them at first. The one that will get you the most is the paragraph 10.

When you do something and it has an effect, and you do not act in a manner to control the effect, then it will spiral of its own volition with a never-ending result. A classic example is; if you worry a lot, then you get a lot to worry about, that causes you to worry, so you end up worrying a lot. No, I am not going to type that a whole bunch of times.

What to do about paragraph 10

When you find yourself in paragraph 10 situations, and it is spiraling against you as in the example above, you need to do something to end it. To do that is easy, such as change your thought to something else. If it is physical then you need to make a physical action of doing something different.

The key to the whole thing is recognizing that you are in a paragraph 10 situation. If it is working out well for you, then by all means let it continue, on the other hand if it is working against you, then we need to end it, or reverse it.
