Orange and Apple

Is an orange and orange? Of course some would say...but is an orange an apple also? Hmmm a question that not many will answer correctly or wrongly. Cause there is no right or wrong answer. Its a matter or perception that we see the orange as an apple or an orange. Then the inital name of the fruit is no more 'orange' but then just fruit. So wat fruit is that some ask, some will answer orange some will answer apple and some answer its both or neither. So which is the 'correct' answer? Who defines the correct answer and marks the criteria and outline of what and when it is an orange and not an apple and when it is an apple and not an orange and when its both or neither? As another fruit, let it be watermelon, which also cannot tell if the 'fruit' in question is an orange or an apple. What basis of it is an orange or an apple do we do out analysis? Would it be worst if the undefined 'fruit' suddenly wan to be called watermelon?...then where does this place the old 'watermelon' that always thot it was a watermelon? What can help the old 'watermelon' find weather it itself is a watermelon or is it another fruit which it itself does not know? What if the old 'watermelon' decides to give the name of 'watermelon' to the undefine fruit and simply just walk away? What will happen then in the entire fruit of the forest? I can tell you nothing cause the names of watermelon and orange and apple is no important. But the only important thing is that one is happy the other will be happy walking away.
Anyone got the moral of the story?
