Paradox & Catch 22

Paradox
One definition of paradox is a statment that is totally absurd but true. Another definition would be a conclusion statement that doesn't make sense.
To me..... Paradox is simply a false statement.

Catch 22
Catch 22 originally came from a book entitled "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller. I was told the book was interesting but not easy to read. Catch 22 means that it doesn't matter which way you go an undesired result will be conclusive.
To me..... Catch 22 simply means that you don't know the outcome until after it has came. My definition may not be a clear definition to some so here's an example.
Example: Sally reached the end of the hall only to find two doors that she did not know where they lead to. She was told they lead to the same room but the only way to find out would be to go through a door.
