Mastering the basics of numbers and letters is the first step toward self sufficiency. When we can do equations and create sentences of our own, we have become independent from those who would calculate for us and think for us. Life on Earth is remarkable and some basic understanding of life's function within our understanding is vital to our being able to enjoy the total life experience. Too many of us are always eager to avoid learning when we can otherwise take a shortcut and use someone else's conclusions for our own. What is important is not that the conclusion may satisfy some need within our psyche, but more important is the thought process that gets us to that conclusion. Too many of us reach our conclusions without understanding the premises that built it. If we did we would surely come to a different conclusion more often. What has happened is we have become lazy about logic and it's significance to our own independence. When we can calculate numbers in ways that give us insight into what our possibilities are we then start from a place where we know we factually are. When we can follow the logic of words and their meanings to simple and complex rationales we also become independent from those who use our need for them to benefit themselves. This all starts from the idea that any shortcut is a good shortcut. Life is not about taking shortcuts, it is about living to the fullest within every step we take. Not giving away a single minute of our life to others who have no idea the intent of our own personal being. We all need to force ourselves to begin from the beginning if necessary in order to master our numbers and letters.
