counting what counts....

Everything that counts, can't really be counted..

How true... ! Off lately all I have been counting is days to the weekend or days to my next official holiday. But could we ever count how we feel, how we make others feel; who matter to us, could we count faith, memories, pain, trust, happiness, anger?

Imagine someone saying you - '... I love you a 100kgs!' or '... I am 100watts angry!' You'd then prepare yourself accordingly. I would! On second thoughts now - I guess life would be easier that ways - dah? If you had everything in numbers, making decisions would probably be easier - like mathematics where 2+2 has to be 4, like picking dishes from the menu card (which have their respective prices mentioned and that does help us decide at one point - we'd all agree!). But nah, it's science - all chemistry and biology and psychology.

We could measure everything that mattererd. But that's not how it is or rather how it is supposed to be. But why? Wouldn't life would be much simpler that ways and then the humans wouldn't have much to use their brains in this regards! I remember it crossed my mind once - how good it would be if we have a feelings meter - to measure things that count, like you have thermometers for body temperature, we'd have other kinds of equipments to measure the pain or anguish or love or disgust of one - for another. The meter would be customized to change colors depending on what the person was going through. We wouldn't have to think 'kya soch raha hai, kya sochega'. We'd know instantly.
