“the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.”
I like Tom Handler’s word “synergy.”
“Emergence” also comes to mind.
Think of it this way. If you took each and every identical molecule and atom and so on that was a human and assembled all those parts, every bacterium and virus, every bit of DNA, and you put them all in a blender and baked it at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, would you get a human? A consciousness? A person?

Hello,
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a great tool. I love apples and cinnamon, yum! Have a great day!
Have a great day yourself, Eileen. I do love this little tool.
Delete...yours must be better than mine!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a bit of my weight into the first punch. Perhaps they get dull with use.
DeleteSue and I share an apple at lunch just about every day. We do it the old-fashioned way, but it would be nice to try this.
ReplyDeleteI often do it the old fashioned way, especially for apples that aren't perfectly round.
DeleteIt's the simple things, isn't it?! I love my kitchen tools!
ReplyDeleteAnd having sharp ones, for paring the skins for instance, really helps.
DeleteIt really is the simple things that can add joy to a day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you are so right.
DeleteVery cool, I need to get one!
ReplyDeleteI lived most of my life without one, and when I got this a couple of years ago, I have been very happy with it.
