How funny can numbers be. They define our identity. They make us what we are!
I have always appreciated the role these numbers play in our life. How they make us feel more confidant. How they make us believe in who we are.
When one writes down their passport number, on a form for example, don't we feel satisfied that we have a proof of identity as solid as a valid passport! That whoever challenges our identity we can confidently hand out our passport and prove who we are.
Then comes the second important number. The credit/debit card number. You are surely doomed without it. As cheques are increasingly frowned upon, only a credit or debit card can allow you to make most purchases. Otherwise carry a wad of cash around with you (which is quite risky!). If you want to shop on-line, well then you really are sunk without a credit/debit card number!
Each of these numbers represents a different side of us. Each is associated with different sets of information. From financial to personal, from health to wealth. These numbers guard and reveal all our information.
Let us see how many numbers does an average person need to be completely defined:
1) Passport/Social Security/Income Tax number - for proof of identity.
2) Credit/Debit/Account number - for financial transactions.
3) Phone number - for social transactions.
4) Driving Licence number - for transportation, alternate proof of identity.
So an average person who drives a car is defined by four numbers and an average person without a car is defined by three numbers.

If we loose even one of these numbers our world is shaken and we feel 'lost'.
Such is the power of numbers.
