Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse can be seen in the tension between proper behavior during mourning and the responsibilities of leadership. While expressing grief is natural and personal, leaders have duties to maintain public morale and support their followers, potentially leading to conflict between personal emotions and public responsibilities.
