Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes to discuss two phenomena that have a major impact upon our lives: paradox and instability. Both are phenomena „with tradition”, but in the conditions of the current environment, characterized by complexity, rapid and chaotic changes and uncertainty, the convergence of the two gives them a more profound impact upon ourselves. From the multitude of the paradoxes the humankind currently experiences itself, we will discuss only three, from different fields – political, socio-economical and educational -, which we consider of a paramount importance in order to illustrate the current state of the world. Based on these discussions, we will seek to prognoses the direction towards which the humankind goes. The understanding of the way these paradoxes permeate our lives can help us to identify steps towards an improvement in the quality of our lives. Therefore, the paper proposes a possible algorithm through which we can overcome the current difficulties with minimum frictions.
