out of my comfort zone...
The concept of infinity has tantalized and sometimes troubled mankind for a long time.... Most religions attempt to explain in their own ways the mysteries and vagaries of the infinite.
I have NEVER been good with the unknown. I had trouble learning the concept of zero when I was 2 years of age. I had difficulties grasping the concept that zero is nothing, I had no problems with counting, in fact, I was really good with Math when I was younger. When I went to school, the concept of infinitygot to me. It was hard to do Calculus. I had no problems with trigonometry or algebra and even excelled in geometry. BUT, infinity got me... I could do the sums.. solve the problems but i can say that I never understood the concept totally. Not understanding the concept didn't help with Physics.
I've always had a problem with the unknown, the unseen, the unpredictable, I dont really like watching movies / books that have a mysterious twist or the kind that leaves you with a 'unknown' outcome or ending...it will bug me for the rest of the night.
When I first arrived in Canada. I had problems with people saying 'we'll see how things go' or 'I don't know, let you know later' or even ' I'll get back to you'. My life is a planned, organized and structured process and everyday is planned and accounted for. I didnt deal well with leaving plans up in the air, getting back to people. It is a very simple thing - you either go or you don't go. Do it or Dont want to do it. Unknown, unplanned and disorganized stuff just gets to me, its an irritation, or a bee that never flies away. Its just circulating above your head.... buzzzz buzzzz buzzzing away....
Then, I learnt that Canadians are very nice people, its sometimes hard to say no to someone, and I adjusted to the more 'laid-back' culture. I learnt to take my time, appreciate and smell the roses from time to time.. I enjoyed and welcomed the change, I learnt to accept the cultural differences. Slowly, the irritation went away, it didnt bother me as much....
Some things don't change....I know that deep down inside, I am still unable to deal with unknown. Its still gets me from time to time....
Most people that know me will know me as someone who is 'pretty-much' you get what you see. I am pretty straight-forward direct and I am really good to show that I dont like or uncomfortable with certain things. The past few days. I am more 'bugged' about something.. I dont know about something.. and I hate that... ARGHHH..
