Numbers in cultures and religions
In a few cultures our age number is assigned if we finish that year plus other cultures that age number emerged at the beginning of 4 seasons - beginning on day one of life. Which means you age number will differ depending on your culture!
In Hebrew, all letters possess a numerical equivalent and each word's number is the total of the individual numbers - therefore words have numerical meaning and also the literal meaning. And the Hebrew bible [Torah or Old Testament] features a book called Numbers.
Particular numbers have significance depending on your beliefs. A few of these are 3, 7, and 666.
Children love numbers
counting games

Teens and Adults develop the love-hate relationship with numbers
If we so love numbers while we are young - how are you affected that people start to dislike them?
Let's begin with parents who wish to discuss the terrible 2's. Are the 2's so "terrible" or am i pre-programmed to think so? And should we pass this onto our little ones so they start learning that some numbers are not-so-good???
You have to contain the amorphous "someone" who informs us that arithmetic is hard. I don't know who started this myth however it is a myth. Worse - we tell children that arithmetic is harder for girls than for boys! So those numbers learn to enter in the hate category.
We like turning 13! We have been teenagers! And soon we could drive!
We dream to get good grades in college and so on the tests that "matter." When the numbers are not that which you were hoping or expecting we have sad as well as depressed. Yet not many of us question whether those test numbers mean anything in real life outside school. We assign love/hate for many years.
As well as in many countries we love to reaching the legal era of driving, drinking and voting or marrying. These are good numbers and we all love them.
Unless, of course, we hate them!
Take into account the numbers that you experienced and rather than creating a love/hate relationship using them, think about whatever they mean for you and why...then discover how to love every one of them! They're your numbers and they are you!
