Make Use of What God Provides

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

Franz Kafka

According to the Securing Industry website, the world’s largest and heaviest nut is the seed of the coco de mer palm. It can grow as big as half a metre in diameter and can weigh as much as 25 kilograms (about 19 1/2 inches and 55 pounds). If you ever visit its natural habitat of the two islands of the Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean where the coco de mer is found, watch for falling nuts. Also watch out for falling durian fruits if you visit Bali.

About the author

Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short-story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work fuses elements of realism and the fantastic. It typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers. It has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include the short story “The Metamorphosis” and novels The Trial and The Castle. The term Kafkaesque has entered English to describe situations like those found in his writing.
