The biggest challange in being anintellectual is that you get accustomed to predict a lot of things, excpet the outcomes of your life decisions. I can predict where a bullet will end up if you give me the parameters, I can predict what happens if you drink a certain amount of destilled water, I can predict the output of a computer program, and so on. But I have no idea, in reality, what will be the outcome of switching a job or breaking up with someone. You don’t know it until it happens, and usually, about the big things, there is no way back. This feeling gives me a huge discomfort because, I feel like I’m in control over everything, except for the most important things. Or maybe they are the most important because I cannot control them? WHo knows the human mind?
