The Importance of Being Prime

Being inspired to write during a math lecture, I came up with this piece and I think it is good enough to share.

The importance of being prime

In this world there are two kinds of people- the Primes and the Non primes. The primes understand cantors and functions and square root identities. The non primes watch wide eyed as the world is analysed into neat squiggly formulae, equations both linear and nonlinear. Primes are rumoured to speak ( write ) a language of their own. Some special Fermat primes can speak, write and actually describe physical reality. Primes are optimistic. They think that there are only primes in this world. They firmly believe that every non prime is potentially a prime and they, the non primes do not know it. The non primes also don't know why the primes are so enthusiastic about cantors and nonlinear equations.

I heard that it will turn out to be that primes are infinite in number. So are the non primes. In a larger crowd it is easier to find a non prime than a prime. The primes are happy, there are many more non primes who can be prime!

I think that being a prime is magical and mystical. You get to play a game in which even if you negate the square root of 8436 times the x squared and add it to the inverse of infinity and still you can never blow up the world or slow your tea from cooling down.
