the knife, the spoon & an awkward tune.

There is no relationship as awkward as that between the knife and the spoon. I say this because they are very jealous of each other, especially having to share the fork. A spoon and fork compliment each other. A knife and fork compliment each other. The fork is lovely, cooperative and yet independent. The spoon and knife require the fork for smooth and eloquent uses (with the exception of soup spoons, desert spoons and butcher knives).

However, the knife and spoon have no use for the other. With one spoon in hand and a knife in the other, coordination is fruitless, driven to shame as the tools just do not suit!

Nothing can or will change the fact that the spoon and knife were not made for each other and have no reason to get along. Could this be true with people? Could two individuals never get along as they cannot compliment each other and only share the common grounds of being both alive and human?

Honestly, I don't think so.

Cutlery cannot change itself or else loose it's name and intention. On the contrary, people are allowed to change and still be alive and human. I think all people could - them willing - get along and bring out a usefulness in the other. The case is not so hopeful for the knife and spoon They can, at most, acknowledge the use of the other, but not work with...not more efficiently than their dance with the fork.
