Numbers

Numbers are the building blocks of the calendar, and each year, they hold unique cultural significance. In various cultures, certain numbers are considered lucky or auspicious, influencing choices for important events and celebrations. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, "Do not think about the year in which you are. Only the years matter." This quote reflects the idea that the number of the year is just a marker of time, while our actions and experiences within that year hold true significance. And now, for a light-hearted number joke: Why was the math book sad on New Year's Eve?
