Listen, pal, the only thing separating you and me is that you got caught. So when I say you need to think about where your head is at when it comes to joy, as exemplified in your food, I don't say it because you pooh-pooh'd my lobster bisque. I'm saying it because if you can't squeeze some semblance of joy out of simple things, you probably ought not waste your time. Squeeze, because they damn sure aren't going to give it to you. I say it because broken means lots of things. It doesn't have to mean this.
Sacrifices have to be made, but there are only so many moments to string together, and a mouthful of rice eaten with thanks can be amazing. Bad as it is, you are almost certainly making it harder on yourself than it has to be. Take some joy, you need not even break stride. It is found in small moments of satori. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a life and zero desire to live it. Go easy.
Don't know what it is, but I'm agin'it.
