      The purpose of this paper is to rewrite Einstein's equations with more geometrical insight. The geometrical reason for this is that the curvature scalar of a unit 2-sphere should be one. This leads to the fact that: (a) the commutator \([u,v]\) should be \([u,v] = \frac{1}{2}(uv-vu)\), (b) the right-hand side of Einstein's equations should be divided by two. The result of this paper is that by the more natural geometrical definitions the Einstein's equations should be divided by two.
