Miscellaneous pt 1.

Sometimes I look at life and feel like there are no rules as such like there are in math.I have been a student of both —of life and of math. and i can see this contrast. In math, if something is true, it is true forever. No matter what mood you in,no matter how messy things get around you,regardless of any perspective. once the math truth is proven valid, it stays its ground like a rock in a storm, unmoved. Once you prove a theorem, it's done. It holds true, no matter where you are, who you are, it does not matter. Even if the heavens lose, it does not matter to it. It does not faze it.If the theorem says given X ,Y thing will happen,that thing is bound to happen no matter what. But in life,I see nothing much is guaranteed,except few sad things like death or the dead one's cant come back (given youre not Lazarus) ,this being said.

You can do the right things, follow the right advice, give your best effort and still end up lost.You can love someone dearly and still they leave you. You can be kind to people and still be misunderstood.Do good and get hurt in return,do no crime,get hit by a missile. You can be talented and still never get a chance to get recognized.I would ve given you examples,but those never made it to examples,lol. There is no equation that guarantees happiness. No logical proof that effort always leads to desired success. No as such theorem that love will stay just because you gave it your heart. This is what I find heartbreaking in life sometimes.And this is what can be the root cause of all the pain in life. Because there are no rules. Life is random and it becomes joke sometimes.

I'm in no way advocating you should stop loving people , or stop being kind,honest or hopeful ,thats not what i mean.

Notwithstanding, I do believe not all of life is meant to workout as you wished it nor i'm wishing it to be deterministic. Sometimes, you appear to the world as if you've lost, but inwardly, you've not.And i do believe sometimes timing can be wrong & if you hold tight, right time comes .And you dont need to look at everything rationally.But thats not my topic, we are here talking about the human knowledge truths be it analytic or synthetic,how firm they re in nature.

Anyway, maybe this is what makes math ,when I look at its truth ,remarkable to me. In a world, where nothing is promised and separated from hell, by 1 degree, math offers some kind of peace. Like the peace one gets when one is at certainty, knowing his/her ground, the peace which prevails by the truth that does not bend with time or mood or luck. Even I find laws in physics weak, things change. Newton gave his theory, Einstein his—and then the quantum thing happened, and they just had to rewrite lots of physics again. Things evolve in other areas too, maybe those in morality,chemistry, biology,psychology,philosophy,law etc etc Even in religion, interpretations shift. Not denying the context math truths are based on ,it does rely on axioms- the pre-assumptions we have to agree on.Also not denying math does deal with uncertainty too like in probability or chaos theory but whatever concluded, is blunt.And the truths that follow are the strongest i've found.And i fail to find any equivalent firm statements as those, in other areas. In that sense, I genuinely feel math contains the most solid truths mankind have ever discovered.

I once heard a doctor say that the amygdala- part of our brain fears uncertainty and craves certainty. I find this is how math truths give you peace because they are certain in nature. Not like the other laws which bend.you know they 're here to stay.

We established so many “truths” during our childhood—but then we discovered it's not the case. Life is not this pure, and your so many truths shake.

But if you ve learned lets say Pythagorean theorem in your school days,it still holds intact it held that day. Or any other rule in math.unchanged.unlike those atomic models. which is to say; you can trust math any day.it won't lie easily.

And dont get disheartened so easily when things don't turn the way you were 100% sure they would.you see, there is no theorem-like thing in average real-life.
