“Why are our days numbered and not, say, lettered?”
— Woody Allen
Simplified Meaning:
Our days are "numbered" because we count them in order, like 1, 2, 3, to keep track of time passing. Think of a calendar where each day has a number so we can measure how long things take and plan our activities. If days were "lettered" instead of numbered, like A, B, C, it would be harder to understand how much time we have or what's coming next. Imagine you're planning a vacation. If you know you're leaving on the 7th day of the month, you can easily count down the days until then. But if days had letters, it would be confusing to figure out when to prepare or pack. Using numbers helps everyone stay organized, make plans, and understand time better. It’s a system that keeps life orderly and predictable. By numbering days, we can look forward to events and remember important dates more easily.
