Outruling Verisimilitude with Equations

Expectations are hopes, anticipation, and probability. Sometimes they’re useful, but most of the time, an annoyance to me personally. Adhering to some maxim can only get you so far.

This rock we live on today gyrates so fast these days that it is only second nature to hope for the best in anything that we deal with while conveniently overlooking the need to allow some buffer for inadequacies.

Time is an asset so precious that everyone is assumed, and expected to have the Midas’ touch. Rocks turn into gold with a touch of the hand. We can all hope for money to grow from trees for all I care. But if it doesn’t, does that mean we have to abandon being reasonable in the first place? What gives?

Peace out.

Verisimilitude means a semblance of truth, something having an appearance of the truth.

By the way, it should be known that these words don't usually come straight from the top of my head. It comes from dictionary.com. Believe me, my vocabulary is no more than the average human being. It's just I have this knack of playing around with words, that's all.
