Zero is an Equalizer

"Zero is the only number that can be divided evenly by any number", George said while we were on our way to a local Chinese restaurant yesterday. I thought he said that while he was thinking about some math problems. He was not thinking about any thing beyond that.

Then J said that was right. She further said "now I understand that why people cannot be equal unless they are all poor." Because if there is not much to be divided among people, then everyone gets very little, then everyone is very equal. Zero is the number very close to very little.

I told George I was very proud of him for said nice sentence. I told him that "your statement is mathematically beautiful and philosophically profound".

When everyone is very poor, then the society is very equal for everyone. If there are the rich and the poor in the society, there is hardly any equality among people.
