Seven

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire.
~ Aristotle

A lot of people think seven is a lucky number.  Do you know the history of this?  Well, let me tell you...

Some say it is because there were 7 days in the creation story.  Some say it is because 7 is a perfect number equally the sum of the points in a triangle and a square.  Some say it is because there are 7 colors in the rainbow.

The truth is that 7 is lucky because of the 7 dwarves in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  The dwarves represent all the human emotions that make us complete:  grumpy, happy, sleepy, bashful, dopey, sneezy and wanting to be a doctor.  This goes back to ancient times when the dwarves were known as the inventors of the wheel and the bringers of fire and the openers of Pandora's box.

I really have a great deal of knowledge about things that most people don't know as much about.  

You're welcome.
