IT IS JUST A FIGURE OF SPEECH. IT HAS TO BE IDENTICAL, THE SAME THING. AND DEFINED THE SAME WAY.

If I have one lot of something and I get another lot of the same thing, I have two lots.

Is this a trick?

Philosophy, huh? This is child's play!

You can always get more in life.

The existance of an abstract entity can be proven by relatively summing other objects.

Or

That 1+1=2, is the simplest definition of rationality.

2-1=1

One person, with the addition of another, both peraphs doing one task, combines to double the help, quicker the time?

Some simple things will lead to an obvious and clear conclusion. It is easy to see by most people, reliable and repeatable.

It means when you add one thing to another it becomes two

A single unit added to another single unit means they are no longer single units but a pair.

a simple fact of life that no man is an isalnd.

we all need somebody else to make our life 'even', that is, we can never stand alone.

It is the bases of modern computer, i.e a basic operation in ALU.

It is an illusion.

1 + 1 = 1

My question is, how can 2 - 1 = 1?

You have two cars.
You take one away.
You have one car.
What happened to the one that was taken away?
Does it still exist? ... yes...
Is it now counted as a "0"? ... no...

So how can you actually "take away" anything since it all continues to exist?

Anyway, the reason 1 + 1 = 2 is because those numbers are symbols to represent tangible methods of quantifying items. Since each number that we increase to while counting symbolizes an addition of 1, then 1+1 = 2; 2 +1 = 3; 3+1 = 4 and so on.

Then we must ask: If we only have 1, how do we get the other 1 to make the 2?

The meaning of 1+1=2 is basically, you plus the world equal two different things. And that no matter how hard you try, the two will never accept each other as 1.

Its the secret of life.
