Achilles Beats Tortoise!

The fact is: the tortoise is not going to beat Achilles or anyone else. The assertion that it can actually do so takes away from the creature’s essence and it’s the reason why there are those warning signs “turtle crossing.” Still spiritually the notion of an apparent paradox about the nature of distance and time does provide a comfort, which one is loathe to forswear. Zeno's paradox argues for the stoic acceptance of an ultimately unchanging world. Why cringe at death or any of the signposts of change? If nothing is different than you can avoid the pitfall of fearing you will stumble in pothole or fall in sinkhole. “A tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.” Don't waste your time, like Oedipus, trying to avoid the inevitable.
