10-10-10 - A Beautiful Date, But Does It Mean Much?
By Life-Musings.com | October 10, 2010
Today is the 10th of October, 2010.
10-10-10, a wonderful, beautiful and round number, a date which none of us here today will experience ever again (next up — 10th October 3010, or 10th October 2110, if we’re not too picky).
Many people have chosen this date to hold various special occasions, and in particular, weddings. After all, what a snazzy and easy-to-remember date for celebrating anniversaries!
It’s well and good if anyone chooses to do this, as long as we keep in mind one simple truth - that dates are just arbitrary. If there were 730 days in a year instead of 365, 15.25 days in a month instead of 30 or 31 (and hence 24 months in a year instead of 12), or 14 days in a week instead of 7 (and hence 26 weeks in a year instead of 52), the dating system we use would be vastly different, and 10-10-10 would simply be another unremarkable date.
Such a theory applies to many other instances in life. Keep this is mind, so as not to become too fixated on things which are simply arbitrarily defined.
