Have you ever heard of the "Fluffernutter"? It's a sandwich made with peanut butter and "Fluff". Fluff is a marshmallow treat used to make this sandwich, but it has many other "practical" uses too. One can put it in hot chocolate. It is a key ingredient in the world's best fudge and has been known to adorn a hot fudge sundae as well. There just maybe more to the story, however.
What would life be without the fluff? First of all, it would be noticeably less complicated. Take, for example, the basic phone. You dial and someone answers. Add an answering machine, and you leave a message. What with all the gadgets that you can add to your phone line today, one needs an advanced degree in "electronics" simply to coordinate and understand the components. And the TV with the multitude of remotes that go with all those extras, how has that uncomplicated our lives? At times, I can't even figure out which one to grab. Maybe, the fluff has clouded the simplicity of it all. Yes, I am sure that it has.
Perhaps, we ought to just pass on the fluff occasionally. Life might not be so bad without it. Afterall, if you skip the "Fluff", you still have a peanut butter sandwich, and that ain't too bad!
