That's because it's *not* a paradox. It's a "stable time loop" or "closed timelike curve". People just can't wrap their heads around it, looking for the "unmodified" timeline or the "original" reason for the time travelling. In fact, there was no original timeline, and no original reason. The time loop has always existed, and will always exist.

It goes against the common sense percetion of causatily, that everything must have a reason, but it's just a case where common sense fails. Nothing caused the time loop, it's just a natural feature of the universe.
