happy

As humanity progresses, it strive upon itself as things become more complicated.

Learning maths isn't just one plus one anymore. It has become a sophisticated matrix of formulas to calculate the precision of putting a man on the moon, firing the right dose of radiation for treatment, computing the right prices that drives an economy, estimating the odds in gambling, predicting the trend in human behaviour or knowing how much to eat for a balanced diet. The list does not end here.

It gets to us in trying to do almost anything and puts the question, "is it worth to do this or to do that?" in our minds. While it is necessary for such arithmatic for some cases, most other cases are beyond the capabilities of a matrix formula in a super calculator.

We become too calculative and get caught in trying to unravel mysteries upon mysteries. We worry and take the anxieties even to sleep. Eventually we become numb and cannot feel ourselves.

Are we lost to the realm of creating perfection?

I see the things in life that bring joys to the heart are the simplest things. They are but little things, like a walk in the park, or have a meal under the open sky.

There is a greater joy to these little, simplest things - to share the same joy with someone who believes in the same things. This is something I always look forward to.
