I think that we have to be constantly asking ourselves, 'How do we calculate the risk?' And sometimes we don't calculate it correctly; we either overstate it or understate it.

The Unconditional Love

That love which is unconditional,
And not calculative can be found
In a mother's love for her baby
And in a lad's love for his sweet heart.

About The Good Quality

He is sincere who
Is calculative or
Lacks faith in himself.

He is faithful who
Is purposeful or
Lacks faith in himself.

Good quality
Is a strategy
Or from weakness.

The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself.

One of the things that I've been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually capable of performing things like digital computations?

In computing, turning the obvious into the useful is a living definition of the word ""frustration"".
