I regard it in fact as the great ADVANTAGE of the mathematical TECHNIQUE that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic EQUATIONS, the general character of a PATTERN even where we are IGNORANT of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.

The pain comes from knowing that we have never been safe, and THEREFORE will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be so ignorant again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. Losing innocence. REMEMBERING heaven. That was the essence of HELL.
