ever thought of it this way?

There is always speculation.

[tinkerbell]

I think that you are over simplifying by saying that your future is only one variable. Just like algebra, there are numerous possible answers for what X and Y are.
For every variable you solve for, you create a whole host of new variables. Everyone else is doing the same, me thinks.  Also, there is no mathematical system to live by, for life is in total flux and the only thing that is constant is change.  Personally, everything I enjoy involves change, and nearly everything I hate is static and rather repetitious.  I gather that perhaps you are looking for comfort rather than the solution to life.  If this is the case, mathematics isn't the way to find it.

Goddess, what has gone on at this board!!?? Obviously there's been some mistake!! Numerous BWBs (Barbies With Brains) in the house. 

Ah, Tink, so true, obviously all variables haven't been taken into account and a good algebraic equation not yet devised for Susan's. 

Maybe there is none, perhaps the world is not balanced in a mathematical way. Could Wittgenstein have been wrong!!
