Not everything that counts is long lasting

The first is that the word "count" has two word meanings, the way to list and enumerate things, and things that are of value or preciousness. In fact, everything you want to talk about is "numbered" or more than nothing. To represent something with language, we must use units, countable, in words. And while the object the word is representing and referencing may not be not isomorphic in “countable wholeness” to the words that name it, those things are still neither "nothing" or "nothing at all", because it is "existing" in your experience.

So, you have to start to understand how Einstein used the word "count" to understand the difference between a process or action enumerate things, and in the end just focus and count the things that have value. As in what is worth spending limited time naming them, interacting with them, and understanding them, among other things. While talking about something of value that cannot be counted, perhaps he wants it to be that you don't need to count and measure it, when it can actually be numbered on a scale.

In the negative sense of using "counting" in two meanings, it is a logical mistake, "amphiboly". If the two meanings are not different enough to call the wrong usage of words, then the moral lesson is probably just counting precious things to use our finite and limited time on, because we are in need of a segment of empty time to "represent words". When about physical objects, we are using human energy and other things in the world, to "consider" and " Interact "with things that do not need to be counted and classified in a number system.

In this simple interpretation of the pragmatic meaning of this "quote from Einstein". Then you often do not "count" love, especially between loved ones in your lives. It is also not a "countable" noun, rather I think it is an "abstract" noun. But, you will also "count" things like money and other units needed to manage and moderate your lives in the "accuracy and quantity" of numbers. They eventually have to understand how much money and other things are needed to achieve an optimal life to facilitate "love" the way you imagine it and really want to live it, such as having things to eat and drink, and a house for a fixed standard of living.

Try using words in a class of "abstract nouns" such as "love". You may count it as "one" which realizes it as whole or complete, certainly not "nothing", but not more than one in the ordinary word sense. The fact about it is that when you go back to counting people, actions, or events, that thing will count as a "classifier word" to count abstract nouns in "countable nouns” which are "more concrete". Such as, "I've had two times of love in my life, which were serious enough, to convince me I could marry them." "I am not usually very grateful, but I have experienced hundreds of acts of gratitude, which have proven to me that people are good and grateful for our lives, and that they often do not have evil intentions. "

"Honor is not something people take lightly and do not pay attention to. But in reality, to me I think the poor and working are millions of people of honor." Not everything can be numerically qualified or quantified, other things are important as well and may be intangible and not directly or completely measurable even seen in that way but as more abstract values like love, hope, charity, care, concern, empathy, sympathy, courage, wisdom, sincerity, honesty and so forth. Not all countable things end up being important, or as important as once though like money over freedom, materials over control of space and self in it, lists and collections of facts and figures as information that is not yet converted to or made into useful/usable knowledge.

Reminds me of the saying, “Man Plans, God Laughs”. Ain’t gonna stop me from planning or counting on something though. Maybe nothing is 100% or 0% certain. But given that, I’ll count on a 95% chance of a planned outcome. I see myself as living in the gray areas, where nothing is absolutely certain, but we all know that going forward and can deal with it. Depending on what kind of loss you’re talking about, in what terms. And in general, the ones who really don’t brag about the loss, simply work better to what they wish to achieve is never really counted. Depending again on what they want things to count like.

Love cannot be counted like money, and money counts less than love. The sense of count in the first clause means count in discrete units, like coins of money: one coin, two coins - I count three coins in total. The sense of count in the second clause means having intrinsic but not measurable value, in the sense that love is worth more than money even if you cannot compare them in a common countable currency. Love represents an everything that counts (has intrinsic value), while money represents everything that can be counted (discrete value). Love here is just an example; everything that counts can refer to any quality that is worth having in some way, like respect. Cheers!
