Each day, we add(+) and subtract (-) some values to our lives. For example, one could add positive joy to another by an act of kindness such as offering our seat to those who needed more than we do in the train or helping an elderly cross over the street. One could also make some conscious efort by subtracting unwholesome values from our lives such as becoming less aggressive drivers in crowded cities or becoming less dependant on items that are environmentally unfriendly. In other words, we constantly + and - values to our lives and they have direct and indirect impact on the overall nurture and growth of our planet earth. What values are you going to + or- today? How would they impact your life and our world?

Yes, we constantly add and subtract from the 'relationship bank' we have with others - better to put in more deposits as investments, that to make too many withdrawals and go into overdraft.
We're in overwhelming overdraft with God, though....
another version will be of joy being multipied and sorrows divide in a relationship. also synergy where the sum of 1 plus 1 is more than 2....thank God when our vertical relationship with Him is right, the horizontal relationship with all others will fall into place.
