In the last few days I have been thinking a lot about numbers....and how much emphasis we place on numbers. Our age for instance( assumption here is all are adults obviously)... We put so much emphasis on age...how old the other person is...how much older/younger that person is then ourselves...
Should that number really have that much bearing?
Example:
Person A is 30 and Person B is 32. Person A and Person B are polar opposites. They have nothing in common and conversation dies after hows the weather.
Second scenario Person A is 35 and Person B is 50. But they connect on so many levels and have so much in common. Their conversation gets deep and they talk for days.
Some would say that scenario two is a bad match because there is a higher difference in their "numbers". Should scenario 2 be automatically thrown out the window because of that difference...or let things take their course and see what happens..
(Not necessarily looking for a response although one is welcome..more just working something out in my mind).
Of course other numbers are given an emphasis too.... Height (are they taller or shorter than me) are they bigger or smaller than me... I get that some of that is because of what you are attracted to..but should we place more emphasis on the number or on the person as an individual.....
