A wonderful apple, no matter how ripe, crisp, and delicious; and a very tasty orange, no matter how mouthwatering, juicy, and refreshing will always be apples and oranges. Even if all you ever wanted to eat for the rest of your life was the delightful apple, it would never become the orange. And even if you just wanted to eat only oranges, it would never make the apples disappear or be anything more than apples. Just a simple reflection on an old adage, "one can not reasonably compare apples to oranges, and deduce that an apple is an orange, nor vice versa". Now they may grow together in the same field, be picked by the same harvesters, and even be placed on the same table to enjoy; however, they are unique in their own right. Discluding one to favor the other not only requires one's logic be no greater than that of a two year old child, but it makes for a rather bland tasting when it is time to sit down and eat.

A wonderful fruit in the art of reason is the notion of complement over contradiction. Now while we can never make an apple an orange, nor an orange and apple, we can notice what they have in common: how they complement eachother instead of bashing them into our forheads trying so hard to change them into the other. There are much easier ways to make juice :>) We can notice about apples and oranges that they are both fruit of a tree; that they have their own unique flavor, but both are sweet; that they are both round and have skin, seeds, and pulp; that both provide nourishment unique to their design, creation, and development. Now that we can see that an apple is an apple, and an orange is an orange we can appreciate each for its own unique and wonderful taste. And knowing one from the other also allows us to really enjoy the unique qualities specific to the other; i.e., because the orange is tangy and the apple is sweet, knowing this will allow me to enjoy the sweetness of the apple when that is what I am thirsty for.
