Paradox of truth

The paradox of truth revolves around the idea that if a statement is true, then it must accurately describe reality. However, this leads to a paradox when considering self-referential statements—like "This statement is false." If such a statement is true, then it is false, and if it is false, then it is true. This creates a logical puzzle that questions our understanding of truth itself and highlights limitations in how language and logic handle assertions about reality, especially when they refer to themselves.
