Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this verse could be seen in the idea of humility and servitude, which might conflict with modern views on gender equality and the independence of individuals. In today's context, the notion of someone willingly becoming a servant to another could be seen as promoting inequality or subservience based on gender roles that are not aligned with contemporary values of equality and mutual respect among all individuals.
