mountain beyond mountains

we all went to school, learnt that 1 + 1 = 2
realised that water boils at 100 degrees
and continents shift over time.

how is it that we turned out so different?
somehow, for all the indoctrination we've experienced, its unyielding that our true selves stay truest. and whats left is diversity. we're all different.

its been said that life is 1% action and 99% reaction. so i guess how we react to this diversity will be what defines us. one mans' trash is another mans' treasure. and how i perceived to be fucked up maybe be perfectly logical to another. and how perception is treated to be the cardinal truths in many instances is the world we live in today.
perhaps perception is the only unwavering constant today. that everyone will have their views and opinions.

1+1 may or may not be 2. and since everything nowadays can be disputed. picking a partner of the opposite sex may be the most exciting and fresh experience we'd ever have. because there is no fact, only your own perception which decides your partner for life. this is what makes life so rich. the unknown. the fleetingness. the certainness in uncertainty. and the gut feel we use amidst the chaos.

strange you may be. but as your friend. i stick by you through the thickest and the thinnest. understand i may not. but support i will. and hopefully someday, i'd find my eternal happiness.
and someone outside looking in will see it as totally fucked up too.
