People who count their chickens before they are hatched, act very wisely, because chickens run about so absurdly that it is impossible to count them accurately.
~ Oscar Wilde

I think something we often forget as we are going through the world placing quantitative value on things - dollar amounts, scores, ratings, "likes," and such... That's all about counting. How much? How many? We forget the human element of so many of those things. The people whose stories we are adding up and reducing to totals and tally marks. There is more to any score or measurement than a number.
People matter.
And also we sometimes forget that numbers are really, really hard.
