All We Are Is A Number

Today will be like any other day but it hit me how all society probably always has been just a number.. If it's not what birth order you are in when it comes to your family. (I started out as an only, then went to being a middle-3rd of 6). You are given a birth date which numerologist have there take on this in a mathematical/personality sense. We are then given a social security number that from the day we are born until we die sometimes I feel like it should be tattooed somewhere on our body.

As we stepped into the Internet world passwords/numbers became a part of our lives. It started out small, but now my world has ballooned into a secret notebook in a secret location that has listings of numbers to various websites, accounts well you know I am sure everyone has gotten overwhelmed by how many numbers they have to remember. And Lord if you don't write them down you are forever banned from entering into the world that you have created so that you can maneuver in this number world. You are cautioned not to keep these numbers but are also instructed not to use the same numbers or codes for each account. Ok, you can't have it both ways--you can't expect people to forever remember these numbers....

It's not bad enough but then most women must remember numbers that belong to their husbands or children. Truthfully, I probably know more about David's life then he does, hey as long as I know his social security number than I am good to go..I drew the line when it came to the kids I figured by a certain age it was their turn to start learning this number world they live in.

What goes along with this is usually the off the wall questions they ask you can even get into your information. What is your dog's name? What is your favorite vacation spot? Etc.... Oh well I guess this is just another one of those things that unfortunately we have to except because there really isn't anything that can be done. Someday it will probably be like something out of the sci-fi world, they will will be scanning our index finger or eyes to have us provide the vital information that belongs to us but that they keep hostage....
