Counting

Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys.

If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot

has enough happiness provided for it.

~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The other day I bought "six deviled eggs" at the grocery store.  I know, I should have made my own deviled eggs, but I wasn't sure if the eggs I had were still good.  Anyway, there weren't really SIX, there were three eggs each cut in half.  And yet the deviled egg business has convinced the rest of us in society that such a way of counting is legitimate.

I guess the deviled eggs are in the details.
