Division Sign and Reality

Different symbols have different meanings although the meaning could be contextual and vary. Here, I want to discuss a divide symbol, which I guess most of us have been using since childhood. Divide symbol is usually used to indicate that a dividend or a numerator is divided by a divisor or denominator to get a quotient with or without remainder.

The reality does not flow as a horizontal line in the division sign. Ratan Tata said, "....a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive." There are several ups and downs. Thus, two dots up and down the straight line in the division sign symbolize ups and downs in a life, which as Tata said keep us living.
