Do you know ‘Life Math’? o Odd numbers are evenly placed in our number system.  So our sorrows in life. o Adding two odds become even. Adding small Odd and bigger Even, still makes it odd.  Adding up sorrows is for joy! More joy and less sorrow when added, sorrow magnified. o Multiplying two odds become a bigger odd number. Dividing odds bring odd or fraction.  Never multiply sorrows to make life miserable! Dividing sorrows does not make any difference!
