The mark of the one living rightly is that he doesn’t have the need to think too much. Thought, in some way, is a compensatory mechanism: what you couldn’t do right you want to think right. But you cannot think right what you have done wrongly, or can you?
In the answer sheet you spoiled a mathematics question. And now, once you are out of the examination hall, you are mentally solving the problem and doing it right. That cannot undo what you have done wrongly.
Write the paper in such a way that there is no need to think after the exam. Emerge from the hall, go play football, get kicked around, have a nice little brawl, and fall asleep.
