  And then she threw away the basket of apples that had touched that basket of oranges.

  And then she decided to just throw everything on that countertop away, just because of one moldy orange.

  And why?

  She thought to herself, If I eat that fruit I will be contaminated.

  And she didn't want to be contaminated, so she threw everything that touched that orange away.

  But what she didn't realize is that she touched the orange.

  But she would never throw herself away.

  That was a ridiculous thought.

  But it seems that there was a more ridiculous thought.

  How could she judge those who had interacted with the orange if she had also interacted with it?
