...and I hate them so.
I've never really considered this - or perhaps I have, just not in depth - but my entire life is run by a numbering system that, according to Wikipedia, "arose in India between 400 BCE and 400 CE."
No wonder I hate them. I had no say in their creation.
Consider - my job is quota-driven; I get paid based on the amount of money I make the company (in addition to a decent hourly wage, admittedly - but the commission I make is what pays the bills).
My education is entirely based upon numbers in the form of credit hours - I need x more to complete this degree and j more to complete the next.
My daily LIFE is run by numbers... food costs i much and gas costs w (as in way-too) much...
I've decided I don't hate math because of my difficulty in understanding its concepts - I have no such difficulty.
I simply hate the stranglehold mathematics seems to have on my soul.
Damn you, mathematics - damn you and your ilk.
