A profound distinction, in my view, between a sum of parts and a sum of gifts. And does this just apply to a country or a farm?  Perhaps you could say the same for a culture, a community, or a person.Â
Wise Antoine has nailed it again.Â
A country – or a farm – is not the sum of its parts. It is the sum of its gifts. Â
