He, he. The scale of what people consider to have done themselves is quite variable. Someone else might be satisfied with buying a crust. When I make a pie from scratch I make the pie crust from flour, butter, and water from the tap. Yet another might not be satisfied unless she grew the wheat and fruit herself, milked the cow and churned the butter. We do very little all by ourselves, without support from what has gone before. Even my water from the tap comes to me thanks to a generation of pipe-fitters, and an aeon of mountain-building and a summer of glacial melt.

well…as I see it… .where the apple and all other ingredients came from? who created the apple? or the tree? who created all elements to “build” an apple…
everything is interrelated and there were no apple in there were no universe:)

Thanks, CityMonk, this sounds reasonable.
Then this phrase is like an accent on difference between “make” and “create”.

And if you keep this in mind, in everything you do, you will feel infinitive grateful for all things.

At least I do when I’m able to. I find it hard to keep it in mind sometimes though.
