Life in a nerdy perspective

I came up with this thought a while ago, but never told anyone or wrote it anywhere. I let out the thought in a comments in Bidel's weblog. Here it is: Life is a sine or cosine function, with time dependent frequency and phase shift resulting in various ups and downs, with different degrees of "upness" or "downess" at a time, and also various durations of "upness" and "downess"! So, if you are having an "up" time, be prepared for a "down" time, and if you are having a "down" time, be happy that an "up" time is indeed coming sooner or later.

Now this theory has been tested many many times in the course of my own life, and others that I know of. So, there it is, the way "life" works!
