2 + 2 = 4 or 22 ??

At times there is this feeling of being hammered. Right in the head. Rationality seems to be a clear answer but there are these ‘wonderfully’ close people in your life who just won’t be able to see clarity with naked eyes. Well it is not their fault also. But any elucidation also does not work. And you end up feeling distraught, hysterical, rebellious, nauseated and stupid all at the same time.

Complicated nature is what beckons me most of the times but sometimes the simplest of the things can create enormous, ogre like dilemmas that are easy to understand but difficult to explain. So much so that the swollen and sleepy eyes don’t feel like sleeping and be dead with the world

You feel, for once, that life could be easy and less knotty if we were all geeks and nerds, in the literal sense, who wont just have this something called ‘beliefs’, In other words, ‘judgements’, In yet other words ‘any sense of understanding things in the way they personally feel is right’.

I have never said this before. But logic and rationality seem to be so right at times. My sensibility regarding the fact that there can be a number of answers to a question and truth is nothing but a myth, is totally shaken for once, as there are some definite areas which can be called white and black. After all ‘grey’ is a mix of both the two.

The crystal clarity is not seen by those whom you want, should see, not even when they try and look for it. Maybe their mind just does not allow them to.

The situation can be maddening and provoking at the same time. You try so hard to simplify a geometrical problem which just does not get ‘Hence proved’ for its answer. Things aggravate and there is a complicated answer in the end which is not right.
AB=BC, BC//AD,
Hence AD//AB which is not possible
Hence not proved.

Maths- well I was never too good at it. But for once I feel this need of making people understand that two plus two is four in maths and not 22.

I am still trying to solve the vicious mathematics which has always scared me. For people who are masters of it. The only difference is that this time I am being commonsensical and coherent
