LOL ... my accountant thinks it's about religion when he hears some talk

Like a joke (or maybe like Zen): you either get it, or you don't. If you don't
get the point, no amount of explanation can make it more understandable. If
you do get the point, then a little explanation can open up new worlds that
you never even knew existed before.
