- a = a
- If a = b then b = a
- If a = b and b = c, then a = c
This wisdom has withstood the test of time...
- - Thousands of years
- Thousands of books
- Millions of people
It's so easy, that it's boring.
And boring stories are just one way to relax.
- Boring stories = relax
- Boring television = relax
You know what it's like to be half-asleep while the TV is on. It's okay for your eyes to be closed, because you can hear just fine.
And since it's boring, it's okay to half-listen. You can half-listen because you might hear something interesting. So while you wait for something interesting, and while it's boring like this, you just relax. You relax because it feels good and because you want to.
- relaxing = feels good
- relaxing = feels good
And isn't it interesting what algebra teaches us?
If boring stories = relax
And if relaxing = feels good
Then boring stories = feel good
And the next time you find yourself falling asleep with the television on, maybe you'll think about algebra.
- a = a
If a = b then b = a
If a = b and b = c, then a = c
