I Stole a FB Pic

I don't want to sound like a geek or anything, but I really did try to make some sense out of this. And still, most of it don't make sense. All I know is, the square root of a heart is a broken heart. But no, that sounds so wrong. And what is the derivative of a heart? Zero? Because a heart is not a function. But what if "Heart" is a function?

This reminds of a short story I had to read for one of my writing classes. I don't have the copy anymore. I remember giving it to Maisterbate to read, but I could be wrong. Somebody had it, and it never made it back to me. I just wish I remember what it's called or who wrote it. All I remember is that it's written by this ME guy from MIT. In the story, some guy is so in love with this girl, but the girl can't decide if she loves him back or not. So the guy tries to explain how his love for her is pure, etc. The guy is a math person, so he does this by writing all these equations, where you take the derivatives of things (similar to how Jabbarri taught us how to find the acceleration of a rotating body by knowing its position equation). But in the end, the guy stops solving the equations and doesn't provide any real answer to the question "What is love?"

I'm guessing he just gives up in the end. But in class, when we were discussing it, I remember saying that assuming his love for the girl is constant, then taking the derivative of that will give you zero. So, if the rate of change of his love is zero, then it means it won't ever change, right? And the class just stared at me like I'm a moron. :)

But now I'm thinking, I was so wrong in so many levels. Because nobody said that Love was constant. What if it was something else? A function? Or even imaginary (i-Love)? What does Love represent if it were a variable? And who assigns it its value? So I guess you really can't put it in an equation and expect it to give you a real answer, like 1+2=3. If it did work like that, it wouldn't even be a question anymore. You'll just know it's 3 because you learned that in kindergarten.
