Simple Mathematics

Last night Caitlin and I were talking about the events that led up to her meeting, falling in love and marrying Ryan. She had said that it wasn't at all how she pictured her life at the time, but how she can't imagine choosing anyone more perfect for her. I think it is amazing how two people are brought together.

So think about this...if two people create one. And four people create two, who create one. And eight people create four, who create two, who create one.

Think about it if you go back to the time of Abraham Lincoln 16,000 people came together to create you. If you go back to the time of Socrates it would take trillions of people coming together to create you. Because trillions of people have not lived on this earth it means one thing. We are all brothers and sisters. We are all connected. Simple mathematics. Amazing!!

Did you read that somewhere or come up with it all on your own? It is an interesting thought. That is why I don't believe in happenstance or coincidence---too much is effected to have life just be random,

I'm so proud of you for thinking about mathematics! Who needs a triathalon? You could train for a math competition instead!
