異
Mnemonic
When two farmers share a field together, their crops grow wildly different—one side blooms with lavender, the other with thorny weeds. The field, split down the middle, proves that working together doesn't mean thinking alike.
Additional thoughts

One field farmed together yields two wildly different harvests.Details
