Numbers count in today’s world. Numbers define our identity, assess our performance, and measure our worth or success. Even moral standards and truth are gauged by popularity, polls, or statistics. But let’s beware of the tyranny of numbers: “If you lower the standard in order to secure popularity & an increase of numbers, & then make this increase a cause of rejoicing, you show great blindness. If numbers were evidence of success, Satan might claim the pre-eminence; for, in this world, his followers are largely in the majority”. Numbers count, but weight counts more.—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim.
