Well, I believe the problems of life tend to be problems of optimization and neither maximization or minimization. Maximization problems are usually easier to solve, but there is something tricky about optimization problems. It's easy to find something that can float in the ocean, and probably just as easy to find something that will sink. However, it may be more difficult to find something that would neither sink to the bottom nor rise to the top. In such a case the buoyancy and gravity would have to harmonize in equal measure to allow the object to stay from moving towards the surface or the ocean floor.
Well, long story short, I don't believe life should be unreasonably hard or easy. It should be hard enough to encourage progress, yet easy enough that we can succeed. The two axioms work in opposition simply to keep us where we are primed for success and happiness. A place where neither contentment nor discouragement rule. The axioms are not in place to appease logic, for it appears to be a fallacy that life is both easy and hard. Rather, they exist as opposing emotional and psychological forces that can keep us in the optimal mindset.
I think, therefore I am. It makes little difference if I think hard or not.
ReplyDeleteHey, I just decided it is like AC current. The hard things become easy with time and life is always moving so the easy lags the hard. That can be optimized in ac circuits at 90deg using impedance by adding capacitors or inductors. If that does not make cake walk, you’re lost. I am found, what were we talking about? (Was that easy or hard to follow, or is it easer every time you read it, eh, eh, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean, say no more, say no more.)
