That’s one of the most interesting metaphors I have ever come across! Wonderfully stated, Belinda.. Too much of anything (mundane) for too long can indeed only mean boredom…

I loved this- what fun! (When discussing pie and food and leftovers.)

I loved this- how true! (When discussing old lovers or old friends or….)

An interesting verse… and greatly picturised.

ॐ शांति ॐ
Om Shanti Om
May peace be… praying for People of Japan

Socially, economically and legislatively, change may be too cumbersome to happen quickly, like trying to turn an aircraft carrier on a dime. But as you describe it, it may not be necessary to try to make the status quo palatable through any of those means. Like twelve servings of kale, it will no doubt die of its own bitterness.

Natasha, welcome to The Halfway Point! I tend to err on the serious side so thank you for digging deeper than the silly surface of this post. There’s so much about our society’s status quo that needs revisiting.
