I used to think about questions like that, but I don't anymore. Why would I quit? Because when I think that way I can no longer function in reality. If I want to be successful and happy I stay away from thinking like that. I can go on and on about it, but I'm just gonna leave it at that. Just because I could ponder that does not mean it's healthy.

Don't worry!
Just take logically all the alternatives!
Then, for each case, you will find there is a different result!
1 unit of Hydrogen and one unit of Oxygen give us some Water, plus or not something will be left!
1 orange and 1 apple make 1 orange and 1 apple
1 $ and 1 $ make 2 $
1 positive and 1 negative gives something like zero, or anything between the two ones!
1 Man and 1 Woman could make 1 couple, or 2 enemies, 1 friendship, .....
and the list can progress infinitely!
Depending on the case we will have different results!

just ask the person who invented the number line why did he put 2 as the second number and 1 as the first number.
in the number line any two adjacent points are equally distant to any other two adjacent numbers. the distance between 0 and 1 is 1 and the distance between 1 and 2 is 1 (this is because 1 is the first positive number in the number line) therefore 1+1 is the distance between 0 and 2 since 2 is the second number naturally it is the answer.
just ask the one who invented the number line or the one who made the order of numbers

Because numbers originate when we try to count things. Rational numbers (integers to you and I) are just a series of labels that obey rules used toi count things.
To conjure this number system from nothing you need to introduce the idea of sets - ie. groups of things (which do not have to be real).
Then let the empty set {0} be the set that contains nothing and associate it with 0.
The set that contains just one element - an empty set, ie {{0}} is then associated with 1. And so on.

Presume A=1
then lets set A=B
.: A * A = A * B = B * B
.: (A * A) - (A * B) = (A * A) - (B * B)
factoring this...
A * (A - B) = (A + B) * (A - B)
factoring out (A - B) gives you
A = A + B
substituting the values gives you
1 = 1 + 1
.: 1 = 2
have a nice day!

we are generally study decimal number system
in this system contains 0 to 9 elements
so,in this case we have to calculate this way
that is 1+1=2
likewise octal ,hexadecimal and ternary also
but in binary expansion this is wrong
because in this system contains only 0 and1.we calculate
in this way
1+1=10.this is the procedure

It's not always that way. In binary, for example, 1+1=10.

if u go on thinking like that everything in the world seems like that for u.1+1=2,because + is a symbol which is used to add.the ancient mathematicians invented them.so we have to follow them.stop thinking like that.
