Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive,

Summary

This quote highlights the dual nature of statistics. On one hand, statistics provide suggestive insights, like a bikini that hints at someone's appearance. They can reveal patterns, trends, and correlations, which can be useful in making informed decisions. However, just as a bikini only shows a fraction of someone's overall physicality, statistics do not provide a complete picture. They can conceal important contextual information or underlying factors that may drastically change the interpretation or impact of the data. Thus, this quote emphasizes the importance of critically analyzing statistics and considering what is hidden or not revealed to better understand the complete story.

There is a philosophy that says that if something is unobservable -- unobservable in principle -- it is not part of science. If there is no way to falsify or confirm a hypothesis, it belongs to the realm of metaphysical speculation, together with astrology and spiritualism. By that standard, most of the universe has no scientific reality -- it's just a figment of our imaginations.

My prayer for you today is that you experience the Love that God has for you in such a profound, childlike way that your perspective is completely transformed. As you encounter circumstances in your life, from the trivial to the catastrophic, may you be more acutely aware of the magnitude of His love for you than the magnitude of the troubles you face.

I have seen very few people. Nessa came again. How painful these meetings are! Let me try to analyse. Perhaps it is that we both feel that we can exist independently of the other. The door shuts between us, and life flows on again and completely removes the trace. That is an absurd exaggeration.
