Have you ever noticed how death seems to come in threes? Death is near our family this week and it was three who had died, a close friend, an uncle and a pet. Each touched our hearts deeply and yet it makes me wonder why it seems so true that it strikes in threes. Three is such a complete number, that is why we have the triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit… and many other religious systems have the three figurehead god system.
It is also the most stable structure – when designing something if it has a triangle then it is more stable than two or four in many cases because of counter pressures. Don’t know the answer, but thought I’d put it out there for others to consider and comment.
