Comparing a Good Event Against a Bad One
F=|E1|*|E2|
Before using this equation, we have to assign a value to an event. We use a scale of -10,000 to +10,000, with 0 being neutral. Using this scale, the best possible thing that can happen to you on Earth would be assigned a value of 10,000, while the worst thing that can happen to you would have a value of -10,000. Suddenly getting rich or finding a perfect spouse would yield values around 200-400. Losing a spouse or going to prison for a year may yield values of -200 to -400. Getting a massage without music may yield a value of around 30. During boring work for less than an hour may yield a value of -5 or even -10. Here are some examples of how this equation works for me:
Getting a massage (over clothing)
30
Watching Jeopardy (I HATE
it!) -20
Interpretation of this equation:
Getting a massage is 600 times better than
watching Jeopardy!
Please note that this equation works only with values equal to or less than -1 and with values equal to or greater than +1. In addition, one of the variables must have a positive value while the other must be negative. Later, this may be changed to a step function to help out with values between -1 and +1.
As for values beyond -10,000
and +10,000, these would apply to eternal destiny. Only going to
Heaven would yield a value greater than 10,000, and only those living there
can accurately give you such a value. Likewise, only going to Hell
would give you a value worse than -10,000.
