"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them." - Christopher Boone The Curious Case of The Dog in The Night Time.
I've never been any good at math. I've always had to strive just to achieve mediocrity in math classes. It's because I can't seem to wrap my head around the rules, or why I have to do the things that I'm told to do in order to solve problems. If I don't understand the reason for doing something, then why should I have to do it? But Christopher is good at math, and working out problems and numbers in his mind. He can't however, interpret people or the world around him very well. So maybe to him, Life is just a strange concept that he can't quite understand, like math is to me.
I think life is simple. Have fun, do what makes you happy, and enjoy the people around you. Life doesn't have one goal, or any set of rules. In that sense I agree with Chris, but I do know that no one will ever know the true meaning for "life". I say, live it up while you can, and live for the moment.
