Right

Ever wonder about something that's just huge and seemingly unsolvable? To muddle through it, all of the problematic aspects and promising parts, and get some sort of idea of the correct answer?

With math, you know there's one right answer (possibly with a number of correct expressions). With people, there often is not one right answer. You can't just slap down a solution that contains all of the variables perfectly. Sure, you can get probabilities. The minute details change things. And you can't perfectly account for the minute details without perfectly knowing the persons involved.

This is what makes human relationships so difficult, but so wonderful. It's because you can't predict them. You find friends in unexpected places. You also find that there aren't friends in expected places. You hit it off with one, and are irritated by the other.

I don't like this phenomenon. Sure, it allows for some great surprises. But I don't like not having an answer. I like math and science because I can find an answer. I don't like psychology because it's so... vague.

My dislike directly corresponds to my need to control things, which is not a good thing. Why can't I just let it go? Let things be mysterious. Let people surprise me. It may even be pleasant.

Good things, they say, come to those who wait.
