All right gang.  I had a little geeky moment that I thought to share with you all.

 

I was thinking about the two big things that we deal with in our lives, and where everything is connected to (all our actions, thoughts, emotions, and everything)—FEAR and LOVE.

 

I’m sure you all know that FEAR and LOVE feed everything that we say and do in our lives, to some degree.

 

And there’s a lot of thought, facts, exploration and discussion about how powerful they both are, how they impact us, and which one is stronger.

 

However, I got curious and decided to look at the numbers of all this.

Let’s look at it this way.

If we give each letter of the alphabet a corresponding number A=1, B=2, C=3… then we can identify the numerical value of each of these two words.

(Don’t worry, this is not numerology, which is attributing a number to something and then interpreting it based on that number.)

 

LOVE= L 12, O 15, V 22, E 5 = 54

FEAR= F 6, E 5, A 1, R 18 = 30

 

So you see gang, the numbers don’t lie.  LOVE is almost twice as big and powerful as FEAR
