Adequacy : Moderate and appropriate nature. In the early days of the Roman Empire , Emperor Tiberius hosted a grand feast and invited an inventor. The inventor presented a glass as a gift, and the emperor inquired about its features. When the inventor claimed that the glass was unbreakable , the emperor dropped it on the floor. Only one side was dented, and the emperor touched that spot, restoring it to its original condition. Astonished, the emperor asked the inventor, “Have you ever taught anyone how to make this glass?” The inventor replied, “I did not tell anyone.” Then the emperor ordered his execution because if the recipe for the glass were known, the value of the emperor’s gold and silver treasures would plummet. No matter how excellent something is, it can be the worst depending on the situation and context. That’s why adequacy is essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Corn is a mysterious plant. It is the most viable crop on Earth, but it can only survive with human touch. Corn kernels look like plants born from the premise of human care, as the thick shells wrapping around the corn kernels can rot them if human hands do not peel the shells off. The more corn ripens, the more sugar converts to starch. Therefore, it’s delicious if you harvest it quickly and eat it immediately. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
