Mathematics is Easy People are Hard

Math I understand. There are rules and there is beauty. Math, if you learn enough, makes the universe sing. It reveals the beauty  and the connections.

People, though, don't follow the rules they make. How can I understand them if they won't follow the rules? 

My parents insist I have a summer job with lots of people around. My therapist thinks I should get out more. Sitting at a computer or at a dry erase board working equations all the time isn't good, she says.

I'm happier there. But that doesn't matter, I guess.

I wish people weren't so hard.
