On hot days, a cool drink is a welcome refreshment. This is often served with ice cubes. These are often portioned as cubes in an ice cube mould or tray. You could actually put the same amount of water in another container in the freezer and then take out the frozen ice and use as much of it as you need. But it's difficult to get ice cream in the portions you want. It can't be cut like a slice of bread, for example. Portions are sometimes important because they are easier to process than a large whole. Even when eating, two small portions or a second helping are better from a purely psychological point of view than one huge portion, which might make you lose your appetite just by looking at it. Sometimes we also have to treat each other like this mentally and be patient: not all at once, but in portions so that the other person can follow and process the thoughts.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
