Summary

This quote suggests that joy defies the principles of mathematics. While typically dividing something would result in a decrease or reduction, joy seems to have the opposite effect. Instead of diminishing, joy seems to multiply or spread when shared with others. This implies that joy possesses a unique quality that contradicts the logical and quantitative nature of mathematics, showcasing its ability to transcend calculative reasoning and create a positive and uplifting impact on individuals and society.

A man's liberal and conservative phases seem to follow each other in a succession of waves from the time he is born. Children are radicals. Youths are conservatives, with a dash of criminal negligence. Men in their prime are liberals (as long as their digestion keeps pace with their intellect). The middle aged run to shelter: they insure their life, draft a will, accumulate mementos and occasional tables, and hope for security. And then comes old age, which repeats childhood -- a time full of humors and sadness, but often full of courage and even prophecy.
