A Hundred Days Of This - Day 4

Some days are about the skewness tilting towards the left and some others are about it tilting towards the right. Some days get predictable with a low kurtosis and some days are like riding the Valkyria at Liseberg, pure high kurtosis.

C'est la vie, baby! C'est la vie.

In a battle with the mind and heart where both compete for control over everything under the sun, there will be times when nothing makes sense. That, my friend, is the beauty of chaos - driving force behind the universe. What you initially thought were random doodles become aesthetic fractals, a simple choice of comfort meals becomes the base of microeconomics, a nerdy statistician builds a model to study the outer space or to mitigate the risk during pandemics. Do we understand it completely? No, there are always these unexplained factors jutting their way out. Can our limits of comprehension outwit the Pandora's box of unknowns? We do not know. But why even think about all of this and break my head over the nonlinearity of life?

The answer to this doesn't lie on your most complex regression plots. The answer that you want to hear could be comforting but the answer that you need to navigate through these storms is not that simple. As Einstein said, "Order is needed by the ignorant but it takes a genius to master chaos." And in order to master it we all need a skill, a prayer and a practice of absolute surrender. Easier said than done, right?

Then what else is the point in living? What truly is the meaning of life?

It does not make sense. Let it go.

And that's Day 4 for you.
