Conversation

It doesn't matter how precisely the onion is cut if the person chewing it is happy.

I love this idea. It is a beautiful way of focusing on the big picture and not obsessing about the details.

What is less beautiful is the idea of sitting around and having a lot of conversation and fellowship with someone who has just eaten a plate of onions. Well, at least if you're sitting close.
