Threshold. A boundary value at which a physical phenomenon begins to change. This world is constantly evolving. It doesn’t stop at change but also significantly influences other elements and the surrounding environment. Just like the slightest movement of an Amazon butterfly can trigger a storm across the Pacific Ocean. We live in a world where even small changes can have major impacts and outcomes. Recognizing the threshold before a shift occurs can help us prepare for hardships and alert us to danger. These thresholds exist in various fields that make up our world. It’s just that we often don’t know or suspect them. Surviving in this era is an achievement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The plum contains a poison called “amygdalin.” This poison is found not only in plums but also in other drupes. The poison “amygdalin” is a combination of two glucose molecules. When these glucose molecules are divided, they turn into “prunasin,” which is more prevalent in other plants. When an insect attacks a plant, it breaks the bond with glucose, turning it into “mandelonitrile” and quickly converting it into “benzaldehyde” and “hydrocyanic acid (HCN)” once more. HCN is a respiratory poison, and benzaldehyde is a unique fragrance component of cherries, bitter almonds, and pistachios. This dangerous ingredient is also present in green tea, but it appears only in small amounts, so it does not cause any problems when consumed. It is an ironic phenomenon in which by-products essential for survival kill other living beings. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
