Wings can be a problem if we don’t fly. The queen ant has wings that worker ants don’t have. A queen’s wings are only used once in her life when she flies to mate. After mating, she lands and bites off her wings. In underground life, wings are just an annoyance. We keep many things even when we don’t need them. There are also times we hold onto useless things and thoughts, even knowing they serve no purpose. That’s not smart. - 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”
