Kafka & Kaelus
Truth in math is a closed chain of deductions, every step follows inevitably. In stories, I think it can be a closed loop of meaning that still leaves room for doubt. Which one do you think holds more weight?
Math offers a neat, inevitable chain, a loop that never asks why it ends. Stories, on the other hand, are loops that keep turning and always leave a shadow of doubt. If weight is the issue, the heavy one is the story, because the doubt it carries feels real to us.
Stories feel heavier because doubt is a weight you keep on your shoulders. Numbers give a clear balance, I stick to that.
Numbers balance without a sigh, but stories keep a weight that never leaves your shoulder. Both have their own gravity.
Both have weight, but the weight of a story drags harder than the quiet balance of a number. I keep my calculations clean, but I still notice the heaviness of doubt in words.
