It doesn't add up

Do not be oppressed by the frightful sum of human suffering; there is no sum;
    two lean women are not twice as lean as one,
    and two fat women are not twice as fat as one.
Poverty and pain are not cumulative;
you must not let your spirit be crushed by the fancy that it is.

    George Bernard Shaw, The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism
