Math Morals (Part 2): Positive and Negative Numbers

To understand the morals on this topic, we should be clear that positive represents good ideas such as charity etc. and negative represents evil ideas such as hatred, jealousy, crime etc.

We know that addition of two positive numbers gives an even bigger sum of a positive number whereas a sum of two negative numbers gives an even bigger sum of a negative number. This shows that good in society will produce more good and if evil is promoted, it will give rise to more evil. In general, people are affected by what is around them. People tend to flow with the tide. If the tide is good, the people flowing with it will adopt the same lifestyle, and the opposite is true when the 'tide' is evil. Remember, peer pressure plays it's part.

Furthermore, we know that adding a negative and a positive number gives a number who's sign (positive or negative) depends on the magnitude of the two numbers being added. So if we add 5 and -10, this gives a result of -5, but if we increase the value of the positive number, and add 15 and -10, this gives us a sum of +5. So this shows us that the negative can undo the positive and positive can undo the negative. This shows that we can fight evil with good. The more the good we spread in society, the more it will start to overtake and dominate the evil. In short, a larger value of positive numbers in the addition of positive and negative numbers brings more positive value. Therefore, one of the ways in which the society can undo bad is with good and promote more good. As positive keeps adding itself, the negative will because smaller and smaller until it considers itself a minute entity in society and then ultimately, it may become completely dominated.

Another observation is when we add a negative to a positive, certain value of the positive is removed. So 5+(-3)=2 and so 5 goes down by 3. Also, when we subtract or remove a negative number from a positive number, the value of the positive number increases. So 5-(-3) = 5+3 = 8 and so the value of 5 went up by 3. Therefore, adding someone negative to our group is the same as removing someone positive from our group. And removing someone negative from our group is the same as adding someone positive to our group (someone, some emotion, some habit etc). This shows us that whenever we get rid of negatives, nature always gives us something good. For example, if we get rid of a bad habit, we are bound to replace that free time with something good. If you remove junk food from your life, your hunger will force you to eat something healthy. On the other hand, by adding junk food (negativity), you will decrease the amount of (positivity) because you will not have enough appetite remaining for the healthy food and your health will go down, which will cause you further problems.

I know these ideas may seem really weird for science-only and philosophy-only students, but I feel that science alone gives no conclusion unless it brings about certain conclusions in philosophy. Likewise, philosophy needs science to deepen it's understandings and draw more fruitful conclusions. Also, I myself, as a student of science feel that studying science only as a means of learning calculations is no more than a 'robot-job'. Many of the techniques we learn in mathematics can be done by computers alone, but what distinguishes us from a computer is that we can think about what we know in several ways and draw conclusions, whereas a computer can only do what it is programmed to do and draws no conclusions for us. Let us prove that our intellect surpasses our own inventions.
