Proportion
Leonardo Da Vinci in his notebooks, (pg.622) talks about proportion in all things. He was a master of studying physical proportions for his artwork and illustrations, but also for other things.
He said, "Proportion is not only found in numbers and measurements but also in sounds, weights, times, positions, and in whatsoever power there may be."
I wonder how that applies to language learning. I know the number of hours I spend studying is proportional to the grade I get on my exams. haha.
Also I wonder what proportion of words for instance of a total vocabulary are used in daily communications.
Also I wonder how proportion is present in our spiritual lives. If we think about Karma, there is proportion and direct correlation between actions and consequences. If we think about sin, there is a direct correlation between sin and the consequences of sin. It's difficult to measure unless we are very observant and unless we experience it I think.
This morning on the bus there was a proportion of 17:3 of Women riders to men riders. I found that interesting.
