Love Sweet Laughter
The problem of unmet expectations in marriage is primarily a problem of stereotyping. each and every human being on this planet is a unique person. since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other. yet we tend to wed with explicit visions of what a “good” marriage ought to be like. then we suffer enormously from trying to force the relationship to fit the stereotype and from the neurotic guilt and anger we experience when we fail to pull it off.
Unique Two People
Srinivasa ramanujan was the strangest man in all of mathematics, probably in the entire history of science. he has been compared to a bursting supernova, illuminating the darkest, most profound corners of mathematics, before being tragically struck down by tuberculosis at the age of 33, like riemann before him. working in total isolation from the main currents of his field, he was able to rederive 100 years' worth of western mathematics on his own. the tragedy of his life is that much of his work was wasted rediscovering known mathematics.

Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. appearances suggest the contrary, but there are easy explanations. music can be used to stimulate mass emotion, while mathematics cannot; and musical incapacity is recognized (no doubt rightly) as mildly discreditable, whereas most people are so frightened of the name of mathematics that they are ready, quite unaffectedly, to exaggerate their own mathematical stupidity

There is cruelty in divorce. there is cruelty in forced or unfortunate marriage. we will continue to cry at weddings because we know how bittersweet, how fragile is the truth. we will always need legal divorce just as an emergency escape hatch is crucial in every submarine. no sense, however, in denying that after every divorce someone will be running like a cat, tin cans tied to its tail: spooked and slowed down.
Running Cat Divorce
Some people think that mathematics is a serious business that must always be cold and dry; but we think mathematics is fun, and we aren't ashamed to admit the fact. why should a strict boundary line be drawn between work and play? concrete mathematics is full of appealing patterns; the manipulations are not always easy, but the answers can be astonishingly attractive.
