Numbers Rule The World

The numbers rule the world!

Yes from the time you step into this world the numbers take charge of you. A record of time, date and weight is the beginning and these are your constant companions through your life. The time, numbers on the clock that decide your fate, your horoscope. The date, the number you celebrate throughout your life in the particular month with the candles on the cake. The weight , a number which tells you what a healthy baby you are and the number that increases as you grow big but after a point either the number keeps growing or which you struggle your entire life to reduce.

The numbers decide further of your height and your dimensions, yes it decides on how you dress and how you look. Numbers that attract you to get those perfect numbers on yourself so that you can walk on the ramp of life in style.

Numbers that tell you of progress that you make in life. These keep changing with the class you are in but though the numbers of your class take a year to change, the numbers on your papers speak about you . The increase on the papers is mandatory to make yourself look useful in life. The more the number,  more choices and opportunities, failing which you struggle to pen the doors of destiny 

The numbers that speak of age and decide how old you are getting or how young you look when you maintain yourself. Now starts the real number game with the records of steps taken on your smart gadgets, the heart rate or the blood pressure or sugar . Numbers that decide your fitness level and health. No matter how fit you are the number decides when you need to work, a number to retire, even though you might be experienced and capable enough to still handle all. Numbers that increase in digits in your bank balance that decide your lifestyle. A number that you are always hesitant to spend even when most required. It looks good to you if this number adds on and you live in stress and worry not to lose it ever in life.

Numbers buy happiness and it is true. Happiness that can only be explained through material things as what is valuable and immaterial numbers cannot buy. Numbers speak of achievements and of failures, of accomplishments and of strife. It is the number game that decides your status in life.

As you come of age, that is also a number, you realise you were running behind numbers who were here to chase you. From the first candle on the cake till the last count of your breath it is just numbers that are left behind telling people of the numbers when you did enter and the numbers when you exit the world bidding everyone goodbye.
