Epsilon theory.

For readers, who don't know what epsilon is, here is a brief background from wikipedia.
Epsilon (uppercase Ε, lowercase ε; Greek: Έψιλον) is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding phonetically to a close-mid front unrounded vowel /e/. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 5. It was derived from the Phoenician letter He . Letters that arose from Epsilon include the Roman E and Cyrillic Ye.
Here is the most important use of ε to remember. This notation from mathematics forms the basis for our postulate
In mathematics (particularly calculus), an arbitrarily (or nearly so) small positive quantity is commonly denoted ε;
Postulate.
If X is the amount of love you are going to have after marriage then affair before marriage is like an ε. Affair adds an ε amount of extra love in your life. In some cases people have tendency to add multiple epsilons in their life.
There are two obvious but completely different corollaries proposed by different set of people on this postulate.
corollary: 1
In India, Its not worth to waste your time on ε unless its not free because by construction of the society in India, everyone is guaranteed to have X unlike some countries where ε is a must to achieve X.
corollary: 2
Even though ε is negligible in comparison to X but ε has some distinguished properties which makes it desirable to posses at least 1*ε for whatever cost it demands. This distinguished property is difficult to explain in words.
These two contradictory corollaries from the same postulate makes this theory controversial and its still matter of much study and research amongst social scientists. Up to the writing of this post validity of none of the corollaries has been proved and none have been contradicted with certainty.
The theory presented here will form the basis of many upcoming posts like marriage, love marriage, arrange marriage, premarital affairs, post marital affairs etc. these posts will assume validity of any one of the corollaries depending upon the state of mind and experience gained at the time of writing post.
Note: Both the corollaries and postulate are open for further refinement.
Also many people tend to assume both the corollaries as independent lemmas depending upon the experience they have.
The amount of confusion and broad nature of these corollaries makes this theory very popular research topic specially for younger people.

A very interesting blog.
and lemme know of any refinements

Thanx for the appreciation buddy. I know many persons have read this post and you are the one who liked it and commented, looks like only fraction of percentage of people can think on serious issues like this [:D].
i dont know about your past but i am sure currently you must be enjoying at least one epsilon [:)]
Hey, i will sugges dont try epsilons after u get X, n in case it happens, keep it a secret [:D]
Sure i will let you know of any refinements with experience [:P]

dude since your own acknowledgment that you have come up with a contradictory theory has said everything in itself, all i can say, time is changing fast. In india also now you will have to work hard for your X. Vaise having experinced epislon, i am now desperate for X :)

good luck !! I hope your desperation will end soon [:)]
