Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; without trees, we cannot make paper. If we look into this sheet of paper even more deeply, we can see the sunshine in it. And if we continue to look, we can see the logger who cut the tree and brought it to the mill to be transformed into paper. And we see the wheat. We know that the logger cannot exist without his daily bread, and therefore the wheat that became his bread is also in this sheet of paper. And the logger's father and mother are in it too. When we look in this way, we see that without all of these things, this sheet of paper cannot exist.
