I love math.
Most of the physical world can be reduced to math, in one form or another.
We can quantitatively describe every phenomenon.
We can create an equation, and compare one thing to another.
It may feel like and insurmountable task.
But it can be done once we know the variables and the values.
They can all be defined, and proven.
Even the unsolvable will someday be solvable.
Once we all agree on the inputs and the outputs.
Then we can agree on the results.
That’s cool.
There’s a funny thing though.
Pain does not work that way.
We all hurt.
In one way or another.
Your hurt can not be compared to someone else’s hurt.
There are no units of varying types of pain.
So don’t try to compare yourself and your issues and pain.
It won’t work and will leave you feeling like a child attempting calculus.
Then you will walk away with stomping feet in a tantrum.
Your pain has value.
Your pain is real.
You do not have to compare it to mine, or to theirs.
We all hurt, and every day we battle.
Every day we fight for peace and happiness.
If you try to compare, you are only hurting yourself more.
You are wasting the energy that you should save for the real battle.
Focus inside.
That is where the real battle is.
But if you need a break from fighting those demons.
Then maybe do some math problems.
I always feel better when I solve one.
