I have a browser app that gives me a daily mantra. To expand on yesterday's post, I asked ChatGPT about today's mantra: "Stop all postponement." Is it an oxymoron. Does it mean 'keep going?'

Here's my answer:

• Yes — “stop all postponement” is, strictly speaking, an oxymoron.
• Literal reading: “Stop postponement” means don’t delay anymore. Adding “all” intensifies it, so literally it means cease every form of delay.
• Effectively: It means act now, keep going, or follow through without hesitation.
• The phrase plays on contradiction — “stop” (implying halting) versus “postponement” (which itself means delaying or halting). That tension can make it sound paradoxical but rhetorically forceful, as if saying:
• “Stop stopping.”
  “No more putting things off.”
  “Move forward now.”
• So yes — in meaning, “stop all postponement” essentially means keep going or do it now.

Hmmm, I disagree. Based on my current situation and since the beginning of the year that's happened, sometimes you need to "stop keeping going."
