Tyranny of Numbers by Samuel Koranteng Pipim


Numbers count in today’s world. Numbers outline our identity (passport, license, PIN, & ID #s), assess our performance (grades, GPAs, output), and live our value or success (bank figures & mastercard limits). Even ethical standards and truth ar gauged by quality, polls, or statistics. however let’s watch out for the tyranny of numbers (Matthew 7:13, 14): “If you lower the quality so as to secure quality & a rise of numbers, & then create this increase a reason behind rejoicing, you show nice visual disorder. If numbers were proof of success, Devil may claim the pre-eminence; for, during this world, his followers ar for the most part within the majority” (E.G. White). Numbers count, however weight counts additional.—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim.
