The Mathematics of Life

It is easy to see our lives as the aggregate result
of a game of numbers.


- How man days have passed since our birth?


- How many sunrises have we witnessed

  versus sunsets?


- The number of times we have been in love.


- The number of times we've had our hearts broken.


- The number of times when we have done the breaking.


- How many times have we lied to curry favor.


- How many hours have we spent alone in contemplation.


- How many days remain from the day of this writing.


- How much money we need to not have to struggle.


- How many miles have we driven in our cars.


- How many hours have we spent waiting. 


- How much debt we carry.


- The number of marriage ceremonies we have attended.


- How many friends have told us about their impending divorce.


- How many days were you truly happy?


What matters?
Only a few things.
When do we discover this knowledge?
