x

Does it not burn when something that kills you has so many degrees? Does it not pleasure you that something that has so many degrees does not have a job? Its something you hate, you wanna kill. But its a dilemma as to whether you want to kill it or not, because that's the only thing that defines your life now or what makes life more or less interesting. Its like Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, Batman and the Joker. They want to kill the other, but they know that everything gets meaningless without the other person. Sherlock= Master sleuth. Moriarty= Master criminal. One dies, the other rots. 

Its a similar relation I hold with this variable that 'constant'ly rules my life. This variable called 'x'. It has so many degrees. It can easily have infinite number of degrees and that without any difficulty at all. x^100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 and goes on till it is x^googoll. 

"It BURNS US! IT BURNS US!"

"What's the use, x?! You don't have a job"

"Oh really?! You think so? What do I do to you and what have I been doing to you for 6 years?"

"Killing mental peace"

"You have my job right there!"

"And what have I been doing to you, x?"

"Solving me to my very last degree. To my very last bit of power"

"You have my job there"

This goes on. I'm like this semi-master sleuth and x is the master problem. I could well rephrase Sherlock:

"You're a student. Infact, you're a math student..... Seen a lot of violent x[deaths] then!"

But it has become my Moriarty, my Joker. Life seems to cease without x in my life. A thought of not having x makes me feel empty. Maybe its like there should be some master problem which would always trouble someone just to give their life a meaning or something to live for. Something that defines their life.

"Oh! What's in your life?!"

"I keep solving x's problems"

"Oh so you're a science student?!"

"Yup"

"You must be having a life."

"Pfft"

"What? Think. Solving cases. Finding projectiles. Measuring Impacts. Implying logic. Logical implications. God! It's a life. Wish i had one!"

"Ya whatever!"

However, one does not know the complications and hardships in dealing with their arch-enemy. 

Whatsoever x, "Kill you? hahahahah! What would I do after I kill you? Go back to ripping off tally marks? No. You complete me!"

Life without you would be dull and boring, x! Thanks for making it interesting!
