| − | The '''Miraculous catch of fish''' is a mathematically significant [[miracle]] for illustrating the existence of [[infinity]] or, in [[economics]] terminology, an unlimited [[surplus]]. Logically, the absence of fish throughout the night on one side of the boat does not negate an overabundance of fish on the other side afterwards, so human intuition is proven false by this. '''''Simply put, [[infinity|infinite]] happiness is immediately available to anyone at any time -- even at his times of his worst despair -- by merely rejecting [[liberal denial]]'''''. Many useful examples are set forth below. | + | The '''Miraculous catch of fish''' is a [[mathematical]]ly significant [[miracle]] for illustrating the existence of [[infinity]] or, in [[economics]] terminology, an unlimited [[surplus]].

| − | The logic of this miracle '''''is very effective in dealing with [[anxiety]], regret, and [[addiction]]''''', as the miraculous catch of fish is always nearby as a matter of logic.
