Negative numbers? That is not consistent with the rest of maths! It also isn't logical! You can have 2 apples, but you can't hold -2 apples!! And what if you multiply two negative numbers together, like -2 * -2. That equals a positive 4? That isn't rational!

That proves my point that negative numbers defy the way maths is supposed to work (logically, that is).

Note: My intention isn't purely to mock you, but it is to show you that things may not appear to be logically correct when you have a limited comprehension and understanding of the concept. Negative numbers are useful just as imaginary numbers are useful.
