This is a strange thought or call it feeling, that I had since few years. Even when I am not very much into mathematical domain or finance, my life revolves around numbers. Not just mine, its with most of the people. I understand mathematics is the base of the economy but what has numbers to do with one's life? Sometimes I get frustrated with all the number business.
- Your day starts with a number - Getting up at some x hrs. You need to calculate the previous night how long will it take for you to reach your destination(office, school, college etc). And then add all the factors like - How long you would take to get ready (especially for girls :)), How long for breakfast etc. Uff! you sleep with all the numbers and calculations in mind.
This is just an example of almost all of us! Lets get into professional life now. I am very sure this area is filled with only and only numbers. Be it any domain/field of work you need to answer the questions that start with HOW MANY and HOW MUCH... Your performance, salary, promotion, growth etc etc all depends on these numbers.
Your health also is defined by a set of numbers. BP, Heart Rate, Sugar Level, RBC or WBC count and many more labels. If you are to be called fit, your values have to be within a pre-defined range.
If we get into relationships, even here the numbers have the dominance. How many years have you been together, how many fights have you fought, how many gifts have you been gifted etc decide about the depth or seriousness of the relation.
The rest of our life revolves around finance, economy and again numbers rule us here.
Wish we had a life without numbers (I know it sounds insane and unimaginable, but it is just a wish). We would not have been restricted to 24 hour cycle. Life would be so less complicated. Ah! Sounds good! Anyways, I have to sleep now so that I can get up and start calculating again :(..
