18. Everything Relative

Can zero and infinity be the same? This question may seem misleadingly simple. Your instant answer could be ‘No’, But ‘Yes’ is the right answer. That doesn’t mean “No’ is wrong. How? Compare the diameter of the earth with the distance between the sun and the earth. Earth’s diameter appears to be almost zero. Now, compare the same with that of a grain. It seems to be infinite. This proves that everything is relative and nothing is abstract. Now, consider, “What is riches?” If your income is more than your wants, you are RICH! More wants, less income? That is poverty. Want to be rich? Can’t earn more? Cut down wants, become rich. How logic can comfort one sounds lovely!
