I always maintained that those who do not do something for the betterment for their country does not have the right to complain. We always believe that we have the right to a good government. I think it is more of a responsibility. We must work hard to have a good government. Other nations have it because their ancestors worked for it.
Why can’t life be as simple as math?
May 13, 2007
My officemate and I were talking about sci-fi books last friday and he told me that I should read the Foundation Series by Asimov. It is about a scientist who discovered a way to predict the future using history, sociology and mathematical statistics. It reminded me of the question: “Why can’t life be as simple as math?”
When I pasted that in my status in YM I got two answers. A friend of my answered: “Di madali ang math. Pero at least may answer”. Another one answered: “Too much complexity. Too much variables.” Some days later while surfing the web I got this comment from one of the forums(on another topic but also related to life and math): “Because life is meant to be experienced and not to be solved”*

* I do not agree entirely on the last statement. Spending all your time thinking about things is stupid. But just experiencing life and not thinking on why things are like this and like that is also stupid. Ignorance is bliss, but not for the curious.
