One is a loner but also a winner. It’s so competitive that it’s always there first. It always does what it wants. At first, the number two looks like nothing special, second place, first loser, but it’s the first number after one that’s even, and it has so much potential.

Odd numbers mean something was lost or gained, which implies change. Not only is three an odd number, but it’s also prime, nothing whole to give when divided.”

“But zero fixed so many mathematical problems just by meaning nothing. Even like that … it still had some value. Technically, it’s the first even number, but it allows number two to take that credit. It’s generous, like death. Everyone thinks death is the bad guy, but really, death frees us from this limiting world and body.”
