About This Quote
This is a tricky riddle to explain, but easier to understand when you know what it's all about. The first thing you have to understand is that everything in this world is linked together. Everything in the world is made up of something else. An apple is made out of the seeds that are inside an apple tree.
An apple tree is made out of the ground that it’s planted in. Therefore, everything in the world is linked together by something else. If two things are linked to each other, they have to be united by something else.
An apple tree has leaves and apples on them. The leaves are green and full of life, while the fruit are red and full of juice. A and C above stands for apples and leaves.
If they were not united by something else, they would not be able to stand on their own two feet so to speak.
