Numbers Numbers Numbers...

Infinity, Pi, Million, Zero...

Why are we all obsessed with numbers? What is your age? How many years of work experience do you have? How much salary do you make? What is the stock price of your company? What is your bank balance? What is your weight? Noticed the hit counter on web pages?

Ever wondered, data can be misrepresented so easily. Have you thought how prior years of experience is so important for a new job but never in a budding relationship? This is dangerous... I sometimes think life would have been so much simpler without numbers.

Exercise till you feel good (no weight i need to worry about) go to work what ever time (see there are no numbers like 9 o'clock), work till you are satisfied, buy what you fancy (you need not worry about inflation), drink till you drop dead (nobody is counting the pegs). Lovely. Seems like heaven to me.

And I bet there would somebody from the other side who would say "Hey! We need numbers for routine, markets, normalcy, sanity ..." I think the only numbers we need are dance numbers. Period.

What do you think?
