NOT JUST NUMBERS BUT FEELINGS ALSO IN THE EQUATION

Life isn't about numbers only if you're human. although some would like that in order to maintain order.

Life and living is about other words like how happy we are and level of human feelings related to things like;
happiness, consent, emotional feelings, personal direction, ...

These are commonly excluded or avoided with numbers (since it's naturally a different format for measuring) and used by mankind in order to gain leverage including 'scale up' things as exchange if excluding those things to get power at the end instead.

So for example, how happy we are and satisfied with life is more important than specific numbers written anywhere.

OPTIONAL / EXTRA READING (IF INTERESTED)

And often people can be happy with less if it has other human sentiments, including progress without just numbers are outlooks on life and people.

As part of nature we all value many things quite highly, but to put numbers on it is a mistake or number-only considerations are in the spectrum of extraction / taking only / not caring.

Numbers can be therefore relative to not caring and key for many past and present regimes using numbers and currency to effectively extract from culture, convert it to numbers and not give it back as anything vaguely cultural (unless you like money / more numbers more than the list of your own feelings and value of happiness / being happy, giving consent, having emotional feelings considered... etc).
