Math

As a graduate from social study, I see math helps us to understand not only numbers, but also equation, elimination, substitution, and things such as irrational, integral, and derivative, to either prove a statement or find the solution.
Just like life events, humans are prone to search for balance and justice, through elimination or substitution of things in aiming for a certain equal state.
We are given problems to choose the correct solution so that it forms an equation.
One thing I cannot (yet) find is that math does not regard any competition.
If it is known that x+4=6, the needed answer is always 2. Although you put bigger or smaller number, it will not be justified.
Math is a humble science that teaches us modesty and efficacy, two things are scarce nowadays amidst the drama of life around gold, glitter, and gospel.

Different Heads, Different Steps


How do I compare a pencil to a fork ?
Why should I ?
and how do I do ?

It is not a secret that we should not compare things where one in the first line and other in the following lines.
If they are different, what is the need of comparing?
Everything and everyone have their own role and place.
Now you are talking about who or what is better, aren't you?

Well, there is no comparative term for different things.
Do not ever use the -er adjective.
Different things can only be compared when it comes to the use in a certain time.
When we are eating, which one is better exist beside us: a pencil or a fork?
It simply makes another less useful, but it cannot create an image of superiority, because in another certain time it takes the lead. If superiority is not absolute, why do we need superiority?


So now here we start to use the concept above in society.
Is a politician worth a commoner to be in jail?
Is it because he is a politician then the law should give some grace to tolerate his disobedience?
and is it because he is a commoner so the law should be prevailed as it is, quick and impersonal?

In another case: Just because man cannot endure his lust, is it fair for women to be banned wearing a short pants or a skirt publicly and going out at the night as a prevention of crime?

Different case! Is it wrong to be fussy about the restaurant when a friend has an allergic to seafood?
Does it make another think that allergic person is a wet blanket or a spoiled kid?
Why, you are just different.
Anyhow, that allergic person never complains about your whining or shopping OCD.

We have our unique way to live. We have different lives.
Different childhoods. Different parents. Different problems. DIFFERENT HEADS.
They contribute to the difference we have.
I know what is the best for me. You know which one is the best for you.
All we want is just to breathe quietly. Live happy and survive.

As long as no one thwarts our way, why do we need to bother how people live? Unless someone is really thwarting your way.
Don't you believe this should be the time to be fair, stay respectful, and understanding?
