Answer:

Paradox

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, a paradox is a statement that may seem silly, contradictory, and usually opposite to what is commonly believed or accepted, but upon close inspection, it has a great potential to be true (and is true most of the time). One common example of a statement using paradox is "This is the beginning of the end", The beginning and the end may look like two completely opposite concepts, however, in reality, we can find that some "ends" actually mark the "beginning" of something else.
