Why math is bad for your health

Proof and A Beautiful Mind

I am currently watching A beautiful mind when I thought of an interesting hypothesis. In the Movie / play "Proof" we see a young girl tortured by her recently deceased father and his work. Math is at the center of all of this madness. (pun?) It then occurred to me what if the father in proof was the main character of A Beautiful Mind? It would nearly make sense.

Another astonishing and disturbing fact is that in both of these movies Math literally drives people mad. How often do we see english, history, or another subject driving a soul mad.

With every add for Eat Pray Love I feel the hammering of the nail that is the common idea that we have but one life and it is ever fleeting.

I am often and restlessly saying/feeling that none of my everyday life has pull or weight on the world as a whole. I do believe one person can change the world and I believe for every action there is a reaction.

Who are we to diminish the life of another for gain? Who is anyone to experiment on another human? Why do we create movie stars and child stars if only to ruin their lives with our grotesque need to find some group of people to dwell on? It's a never ending parade of awful.

HAHAHAHAHA this sounds like I am on a tirade against the world, but I'm really not. I just find a disturbing elegance in the way our society functions on a most any scale. While some parts are extremely enjoyable others are disgusting.

It's 4:30 am my boyfriend got back into town today. I hadn't seen him for over a month. There is too much caffeine in my system and a beautiful mind is playing

"You are exceptionally odd."
