Numbers (Apr. 9)

You remember when you math teacher was forced to tell you in math class as you were growing up, "You need to learn math because it is impossible to live life without knowing basic math, math is everywhere." Who would have thought that they would be so right. It seems that math is certainly everywhere and the more you think about it the more places it seems to come up. Every activity you do, even sleeping has some number associated with it. Try living without numbers for a while and inevitably you will realize that whatever length of time you live without numbers is measured with a number. There are certain people in the world who may like numbers a little too much. The numbers become something to look at and analyze to the extent that their preparation becomes so detailed that they might just forget to live life and enjoy looking at their numbers. It is a good thing that there are people who like numbers, as one would not like to leave there money at a bank that didn't like numbers. So you may have to live every second of every day with numbers but just be glad that there is someone who likes numbers more than you do.
