If Life were Math

I have always struggled with math. I cant remember ever liking the subject. On test days I would break out in a sweat, my head would pound and I got tunnel vision. It was a guaranteed panic attack. Despite the struggle there is one thing that I appreciate about math. That is, there is always an answer. I recall sitting in class in my youth and thinking "how does this relate to ANYTHING in the real world? The only pi I need is hot and smothered in whipped cream!" Math, in my opinion is the exact opposite of life. In math there is logic and reason. You know that your are stressing through the problem but at the end you will have a right or wrong answer. In Life there are no answers. There is no master list or answer sheet in the back of the book. You can go to school and take tutoring for math. There is no Life-101 class. Then again, why would you enroll in a class when you know there are no answers? You don't even know if you passed the test until the end of your life and
