Whispers of Solitude: A Journey of Another Einstein's Contemplation and Mathematics

In the outskirts of Kyoto lies a serene mountain path known as the 'Path of Philosophy.' This route derives its name from a renowned Japanese philosopher who found solace in walking there, lost in deep contemplation. I am fortunate to reside in a city that boasts a similar mountain trail, which I frequently explore during leisurely strolls. As I traverse this path, I enjoy reading numerous mathematics books stored on my iPad in PDF format. Like Albert Einstein in his obscure days, I immerse myself in the harmonious ambiance created by the gentle breeze and the cheerful melodies of chirping birds, who serve as my companions and confidants.

Due to my eccentric disposition, I often worry about inconveniencing those around me. However, I find solace in the fact that fellow hikers on this mountainous trail are unperturbed by my habit of engaging in self-conversation. They just greet me casually with a friendly 'hi' as we pass each other or occasionally overtake me. With every gust of the mountain breeze, memories of my personal journey of self-development, which began during my very early school years when I was labeled a prodigy, as well as the bitterness and humiliation that followed later, are whisked away, offering me a temporary sense of solace and renewal.
