6,840,507,000 people in the world, can you imagine how many different perspectives can result from those people? Whether it was based on psychological thoughts, morals, beliefs, or any other aspect of a person’s life.
To clear things up, I’m going to base this on a very simple example. Numbers… As vague as numbers can be, they also can’t be defined or labeled. People react to certain numbers differently. Some might consider a number a “favorite” one, some might consider it as a “lucky” one and some might just analyze their choice in a broader way.
Personally, since I was a kid the number that was always my favorite was “7”, the reason why I chose this number to be my favorite was because as a kid… I used to always count the heads in the house, and once I reached “… five, six, seven” this innocent smile would rip across my face knowing that my whole family are surrounding me at this point. I took it in a way that number “7” is the number that makes me happy, the number that completes the missing puzzles, and since then it is considered as my lucky number. Now, based on personal experiences and personal beliefs… the number “27” also has a different analogy to it in my head. I relate the terms “professional”, “independent”, “definite”, “confident” to it. This will open up a door that I’d rather keep shut for now.
One of my very close friends looks at the number “8” as a sign of infinity and eternity. An architect might see it as a symbol of abstract, while a mathematician would see it as a square root of 64. Every person is different, there can never be another me, another you, or another of any person from the 6,840,507,000. In a way or another, we’re all needles in a haystack.
