Imperfect things, impossible sentences

Imperfect things, impossible sentences



The phrase “I died” is a semantic impossibility, although it is grammatically possible. Who died cannot speak, simple as that. Therefore, the sentence has never been uttered by anyone, and exists only as a grammatical argument.
Nobody dead can say he died or say anything because he is already dead, so: why is there the conjugation of the verb to die in all the people of the verb tenses without a heuristic constraint or a revision of logic and semantics?
Other models of meaningless sentences exist like this, such as, for example, the pleonasm said in the sentence: “he committed suicide”, because committing suicide is self-reflexive, only the individual himself can commit self-suicide, therefore , committing suicide is a pleonasm: it is therefore enough to say suicide, since the subject of the verb commit suicide is the active and passive voice in the verb simultaneously, therefore, the exercise of the conjugation of the verb commit suicide in all people has only existence in the semantic sense in the third person singular and plural; to guarantee the clean meaning free of pleonasm, therefore, the conjugation of the verb to commit suicide can only be done in the third person: he committed suicide; or, they committed suicide.
Other inconsistencies occur, for example, in the sentence “I know nothing”, because if the person who said that he knows nothing, at least he knows something, because he knows that he knows nothing, which becomes a contradiction, from the certainty that she can say that she knows nothing, she concluded from her experience, so she knows, with certainty, that she knows nothing.
In the same way, the opposite becomes impossible to say that you know everything, that it is an infinite amount of information to know everything, to know everything you have to know what everything is and what was left out of everything to go get it. the complement of what was not yet known so that everything is comprehensively inclusive.
Finally, the biggest contradiction of all. Betrayal is to happen something unexpected, that could never happen and that someone who never could and should do something that surprises us in such a way that causes fright and perplexity precisely because it could never happen in a normal and legal situation.
Only a bad friend can surprise us and do what we would never ever expect, that's why only friends can bring us a great inconvenience totally unexpected and surprise us totally with betrayal, which is the opposite of what we would expect from a friend, an enemy would never would surprise us if not for a kindness or something that cheers and helps us. But, only a friend can betray.
