Theory of Relativity

According to my WordWeb dictionary on my taskbar, it states that the "Einstein's Theory of Relativity" means:

(physics) the theory that space and time are relative concepts rather than absolute concepts

My theory of relativity is more simplified and less scientific although it still revolves around the same concepts - being relative and absolute.

Let me illustrate, because someone got me thinking hard when she asked me this:

" Hey dear, How are you? "

This question looks innocently easy to answer but its all fraud is disguised.

Usually when someone asked me that question, i will, on-a-normal day answer " Yes dear, im fine". However, today i have difficulty trying to fit in a nice answer.

You see, I may answer "I'm fine" because i am in effect, absolutely fine as compared to the devastated parents of Sindee Neo who was pronounced dead yesterday night.

Of course i can give another " I'm fine" answer because relatively speaking, i can be perfectly fine relative to someone who just fell out of love, or even relative to a die hard fan of our all time super hero, Christopher Reeve or maybe relative to a peasant in Indonesia who supports Megawati.

Ok, you get my point.

In contrast, how could i have felt "fine" when i scored 15/27 in an economics test when there is one such f*cker who scored a 27 upon 27. How could i even be "fine" when i have a failed test under my belt this semester? The pain is unbearable.

So, you tell me, how do you answer such a question? Who can ever give a heartfelt answer?

In spite of all these, i reckon my life is still "fine" relative to those who lost their loved ones but i also know, my life can never be as "fine" as those who always never-fail to score a perfect goal in whatever they do.

Nothing is absolute in this f*cking world. Even nus feels that the bell curve system is all worth its pursue. Quoting my urban lecturer (aka e old man) Mr Tay Boon Nga " I teach with conscientious. I do not judge student in absolute entity "

To conclude, my theory of relativity is that everything thing under the sun in all dimension and circumstances are goddamn relative and non-absolute.

There and that. My Theory of Relativity reapplied in consortium to Einstein's theory of relativity.
