Mathematician and the Musician

The mathematician sees thing only as they should be; he knows the logical

explination for everything, and can manipulate it till the common person is lost

in confusion as to what is being explained to him. The musician is incapable

of concrete thinking; he solves the mysteries of life with word and metaphors

and paradoxs that are answers to that world which is his own inner mind. Both

refuse to except the obvious. For the manipulator the answer only lies in the

most complex incomprehensive formula that in his mind holds some great power

over the world. The answer for the self-psychologist is buried deep in his mind

amongst the dreams of a better reality. While he is truly not emancipated from

his currert reality, the musician still insists on continuing to live among his

fantasies. The musician appears to be insanely opposite to the mathematician,

but they both hold the answers to everything anyone would want to know and in

this sense they are complements.
