Square Table Math

Say you saw off one corner of a square table. Traditional calculation will say 4-1 = 3. Now the table has only 3 corners left. But look carefully: 4-1 = 5. You actually have 5 corners. Now look at the cut-off piece. It has 3 corners. So 4-1 = 8. You now have 8 corners. _______________________________________________ The truth is this: you can neither increase nor decrease something, but everything keeps changing and transforming themselves. The seeming loss of something equals the gain of something else, and vice versa. Everything is connected with everything else. No gain, no loss, only change and transformation.
