Meditation for July 14th, 2016
Small is good enough
To keep my finger on the people’s pulse, I work as a barista at a local grocery store. I don’t have to because I take in a lot of money running and operating this meditation practice, but if I were to focus my whole time, I would lose my ability to relate to the common man. I make coffee drinks of all kinds for many different people. Here is what I’ve learned.
Bigger is better!
In most cases this is not true. When people make cookies and they make them big, the ingredients are spread across a wider area and the taste isn’t as compact and powerful as a smaller cookie.
If you choose a 20oz latte, you are getting a lot of steamed milk to a little amount of espresso and that doesn’t taste as good as a smaller more balanced latte. You’re just going to be shitting like a baby after consuming a 20oz latte.
You could add more shots, but you are again sacrificing taste. You’ll then be shitting like a naked baby in a hurricane mixed with an earthquake.
Quantity over quality
People are always looking for a deal. They want a lot for very little. Now days, people expect it – feel entitled to it. They will buy the big package of single ply generic toilet paper instead of the four pack of triple ply extra absorbent/extra soft toilet paper.
Unfortunately, they bought a 20oz latte and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and…if they had the more expensive kind they wouldn’t be dealing with a raw bum.
It’s like the expensive kind!
It’s not. Most of the time the cheaper one is made cheaply, so it’ll break and won’t work like the main brand one.
You can buy a PROFLO PF1400HEBS toilet for $23.95. After buying a bunch of 20oz lattes and off of the dollar menu at Taco Bell, you might find that the PROFLO isn’t down with the task at hand. Get yourself a Toto CST744S-01 Drake Two Piece toilet for $207.38, and shit with a clear mind. On a Toto Drake, you basically will get the shit squeezed out of you while you can spend time meditating or working on your breathing exercises.
Bigger is better II
We love going into a breakfast place and getting a five egg omelette with sausage, cheddar and bacon in it, a side of hash browns, a biscuit covered in chunky southern white gravy, a thick slab of pit roasted ham and a cup of coffee. But if you think about it, it just makes you stuffed and the meal was mediocre at best.
You do t have to eat all that. You could have had a bagel, cream cheese, lox, capers and a red onion and a shot of espresso and be much more satisfied with the taste and still be satiated.
And since you have some cheap ass toilet that can barely flush water, but you have a roll of thin rice paper that won’t clean anything up and maybe just spear little pieces of paper on your leg hairs, you’ll really regret eating the huge breakfast.
