A Tree on the Hill

A tree on the hill
Overlooking the ocean
Providing shade and branches
For birds to rest
Weathering the storm
Enduring the bitter cold
Year after year
Until one day
The earthquake came
And swallowed up the tree
And the birds flew away

How similar is this fate
To all our ambitions

Pi

So here's the ultimate mystery of the circle.
Pi = Circumference of any perfect circle divided by its diameter. Commonly known as 3.14.
But that's just an approximate value since the division goes on forever.
Current record is said to be 5 TRILLION decimal digits for Pi.

5 trillion! The value NEVER ends! You can spend your entire life dividing circumference of a circle by its diameter and your life will end before the calculation is over.

So simple is a circle.
Yet, human mathematics cannot calculate its dimensions in a finite number.

By mere existence of Pi proves that there is infinity.

Circle is closed loop. Diameter has beginning and end.
Just can't mathematically calculate it in a finite number.

So what does that mean?

Either the circle is a mystery, mathematics is flawed, or humans are just stupid.

Foolishness

There are many good people
Who will never be recognized

There are many bad people
Who will never be punished

There are many good marriages
That will end up in a divorce

There are many bad marriages
That will endure to the end

There are many intelligent people
Whose potential will be wasted

There are many not so intelligent
Who will achieve success

Life is so unfair
Life is so unpredictable

But one thing is for sure
Foolishness has no boundaries

Wanna get there?

It is not where you want to go
But the road takes you there

So you take a U turn
Or a right turn
Or left

And the new road
Takes you
Where you do not want to go

So you take a U turn
Or a right turn
Or left

Do this over and over
And you end up

Where you were headed
The first time

But if there is only one road
That takes you
Where you wanna go

Then it does not matter
Which road you take

As long as you are not on that road
You will never get there
