"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. they are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them." - Christopher in "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime".
When you have prime numbers they have nothing that can be a root to them. They have no pattern. They are odd and even but there is no way to make them smaller. Every other number has a pattern that fits them best. Prime numbers are unique.
They are logical in the way that they can be added into, subtracted into and sometimes multiplied and divided into. The are numbers all the same. Logic goes with numbers. The prime numbers are no different, as in the aren't magically turned to letters making them illogical. Fact is fact and Prime numbers are all fact.

Henry david Thoreau
In order to live well, we must reduce the number of material goods we have. Otherwise, these things begin to dominate us. - Henry david Thoreau.
He makes a valid statement and i agree with him. He was a very smart man and knew exactly what he was talking about. Material goods can consume ones life completely. I mean think of all the people wrapped up in technology. They buy one thing and get absorbed into it then when the newer better one comes out they want that. Then it gets worse and worse to where that's all they think about and talk about.
Even children of a small age get that way. If a child is too spoiled they want more and more and their parents give in for some reason and help consume their child in material goods. Thats their life at that moment, but when they get out into the world alone they dont know what to do. Also a litteral one is a drug addict. They do so many drugs that they lose reality and the world they once knew. In all the examples the people are unhappy no matter what happens. If they were to never get this way to begin with or get rid of some of the things they have they would be happy. They would have no connection to something they could lose or want more of.
