Uncommon Denominator

Half and half, a whole. Easy enough to understand, mathematically and logically. You learn it in maybe grade 2 or 3, or maybe just figure out while eating a pizza. The school's curriculum is as deceiving as life is in itself. Growing up you see that everything pieces together and everything fits. It’s all fine and dandy.

Then, high school: a sinusoidal function, a repetitive roller coaster. You go from 1 + 1 = 2 to finding the derivative of x, an unknown. Yeaup, that's high school - the unknown. Straight answers are never enough anymore, it's all about using different formulas to find out every single possibility, then use the process of elimination to find the final, most accurate answer.

The length of the process is unbearable and the end result will still have a margin of error if not done precisely. Thus, there would be no need for the agonizing procedure, if what’s being asked of just doesn’t work and never will.

Math? Who said anything about math? *Sigh life.
It’s irritating witnessing a –for lack of a better word- “relationship” being forced. It’s exasperating to notice someone “running their game” or going through that painful procedure where results are going to be undefined. They forget that, you can’t add two things of an uncommon denominator, that uncommon denominator being both of their feelings. They disregard that the other person is trying to subtract themselves from the equation. And sadly, they try to force the other person to reciprocate their feelings forgetting that order of operations is called division.

Check your math.
1+1=Window.
Now go jump out of it.
