Wrong lane. Again!

At the end of the day, what is it that everything amounts to?

I am learning to recognize the shape of  Z E R O all too well. Also, quite to my disappointment I am also beginning to understand that all zeros always sum up to give another zero. I had thought this realization would take a while in approaching, but no, it seems that I am learning fast. Excuse me, can we unlearn something? Darn! again in the wrong lane!
