<s>[INST] Here is the text of a first paragraph from an article about existentialism:
"The concept of the individual's inherent meaninglessness in life has often been the central tenet of existentialism. By definition, this philosophy holds that individual life has no inherent purpose or value. According to this perspective, people's lives are not driven by an innate or transcendent purpose, but rather by choice and individual will. The existentialist philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, is often quoted as saying 'Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.' This quote highlights the tension between understanding one's life and living it intentionally."

Would you consider Søren Kierkegaard's quote a paradox, and if so, why?[/INST]
