72 is a number. Yet it is more than a number.

- the Chemical Element Hafnium has an atomic number of 72.
- the 72 names of God in Kabbalistic tradition.
- the 72 skulls on the necklace of Kali
- the 72 assassins of the dark god Set (in Egyptian mythology)
- 5 x 72 = the Gematrian Wheel = a complete circle.
- the 72 disciples sent by Jesus.
- the 72 confusing languages at the Tower of Babel.
- the 72 old men of Synagogue according to Zohar.
- the 72 disciples of Confucious.
- the 72 Houris (virgins) in Islam.

Now you know why this blogspot is named 72. Appearances and sound bites can be deceiving. We may never learn the whole truth about many things, but the onus is, nonetheless, on us to be prudently discriminating of what comes our way by way of information. This is intelligent evaluation and consumption of data.
Welcome to 72 where mere appearances won't count! I shall draw inspiration from Albert Einstein's words: "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them".
