onion understanding

Never underestimate the power of onions. As Lohbado bent for a closer look, his eyes watered. Tears flowed down his cheeks as he saw how an onion, which had once been a complete sphere, manifested as two halves. Separation anxiety occurred as one half moved further from the other. Whatever one said about one half, the other half could not be ignored. If the other half did not exist, the onion half would not be an onion half, it would be a whole onion. Half an onion can only exist in relation to the whole onion. One onion translated into two halves, two inseparable from the one... the one and the two. The one and the many, whoopee dooooooo into a whole lot of possibilities. The longer he looked at it, the more sensual it became, like rings of a distant planet viewed through a telescope.
