Doesn’t Add Up

A quick question to ponder,

for those whose hearts don’t wander.

If one and one are one,

then why does one minus one equate to...aargh...a vacuous, blackhole pit of despair reaching such a magnitude of suckage that nothing, including but not limited to joy and hope for a better future, can escape the accompanying shroud of negative, soul-crushing darkness resulting in a miniscule chance to find love again, even after adding more ones that its mother assured would be perfect fits when done?

Ummmm, asking for a friend who, unlike me,

isn’t “new math” savvy.
