Life within Community
Being one is great. How about more?
2+2 = 4, 2*2 also euqal to 4. Why bother to suffer so much trouble to get involving with other?
However, when N > 4, N*N is much greater than N+N.
Reflecting this idea back to in human life:
- When the number of poeple growing up to certain level (such as n>4 in ths case), the effect of combination becomes powerful.
- Choosing the right way to associate one to others,(here "*" instead of "+") significantly changes the effact of the combination.
