THE RECURRING DECIMAL

Mildly, the sun is shining, and drizzly, the rain is falling.
Simultaneously are both occuring, and you are left wondering.
What could this mean? You think deeply and try to apply philosophy.
It strikes your mind that philosophers are science lovers, as Pythagoras loved maths.
So, like a typical scientist, you thoroughly observe and analyze the situation.
Then, you think critically and intelligently formulate questions.
Questions become problems, and of course, problems need solutions.
Thus, in your quest for solution, you design experiments.
In the process, you and nature become best of friends.
For years, you interact with nature, trying to discover what others have not.
It takes your time, consumes your energy, drains your blood, and cost you a lot.
Fortunately, you get a breakthrough, and theories, by you, are deduced.
Theories that may write your name in gold in the history books some day.
Now, there is a sense of satisfaction, and elation all the way.
Yes! you have every reason to be proud of whay you have achieved.
Yes! you deserve the loud ovations and the crescended songs of victory.
Still, there is one reality that leaves me in awesome wonder;
Your theory will someday be questioned, and become a problem to another.
And the process keeps occuring again and again, like a recurring decimal.
