LIFE BY NUMBERS:

“It is very difficult for an outsider to grasp how very little value was placed on human life in camp. The camp inmate was hardened but possibly became more conscious of this complete disregard of human existence when a convoy of sick men was arranged. The emaciated bodies of the sick were thrown on two-wheeled carts, which were drawn by prisoners for many miles, often through snowstorms, to the next camp. If one of the sick men had died before the cart left, he was thrown on anyway—the list had to be correct! The list was the only thing that mattered. A man counted only because he had a prison number. One literally became a number: dead or alive—that was unimportant; the life of a "number" was completely irrelevant. What stood behind that number and that life mattered even less: the fate the history, the name of the man.” [Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning]

Some philosophies view life in mere numbers, for have you not recently heard or read that, "There are too many humans on planet earth?"

In contrast, Christ Jesus, Creator of heaven and earth knows each individual, yes you, by name [John 10:3]; even down to the very number of hairs on your head [Luke 12:7]. Christ knows all about you,

"You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether." [Psalm 139:2-4]

Yeah, that's what i suspected 🙄

i'm usually not a fan of apps of any kind, but the tumblr one for android has literally been the only one that gets moved from phone to phone whenever i upgrade and easily my most-used app in day-to-day life so i'm kinda really attached to it.

Any who, I admit to being confused for half a second before I recognized the profile pic and the fact that only you could be putting that much t-drama on my dash. 😆 Good luck with the hyperfixation. 🫡✌️

hahahah oh gosh this ask made me cackle so hard, thank you for that :D and of course i did, i'm too attached to it now to lose it!

it's safely tucked away for safekeeping on a sideblog 😌
