Quote: "And of course, number one is often used to mean "the best." ln China, Feng Shui can be
improved with the right numbers. The number one is the first of the yang numbers and is
strongly linked to growth and prosperity. But in the West, strangely, we don't always use
the word "one" in this way. For example, when talking about playing cards, the one of hearts
is always called the ace of hearts. lt is thought that the word ace actually derives from Roman
money, for the lowest value Roman coin was called an "as" and also meant "a whole" or "one unit."
Question: How did the number one become such a big deal? Why does the number one have so many negative connotations? Why does the number one have a big significticance?
Comment: It is amazing that people over analyze a number and connect it other subjects like religion, eastern culture, western culture, superstitions, and money. Now I wonder why they put the number one first on the counting numbers. Is it because of its root name or the creator of numbers just wanted to put it that way.
