January 5, 201016 yr Ah, you're right.I just took issue with the 'jobs' part, I guess.I don't know, doing something I love doing and genuinely helping society doesn't seem a part of a frivolous, over-fancy cup. But yes, it isn't meant to over analyze. But I don't want to go among mad people!Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here..."
January 5, 201016 yr Well I'd grab the best looking cup too. And if the professor tried to judge my life on what cup I pick I'd tell him to pull his head in. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!
January 5, 201016 yr ITT: People attempt distance themselves from the psychology of society, and fail. There are exceptions to every normality. But stories like this hold much more truth than credit is given. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!
January 5, 201016 yr I like stuff (I am a consumer [bleep]) but I don't really care what other people think about what I have. I guess I do covet what others have though. So I don't know if the analogy still holds or not. It kind of does except for this part: "Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups." since I couldn't give a [bleep] about a nice job, money or position in society.
January 5, 201016 yr But just remember, some of the crappier cups will soak through and drop all the contents through the bottom. Interpret that as you will. I laughed so [bleep]ing hard. But yeah wow that's interesting It's great you know what you're talking about rustiod. Everything you've said is 100% accurate a true. That being said...your a [bleep]ing [bleep] douchebag, and none of your advice will ever (or should ever) be taken seriously because of it.disregard good advice because the giver is a douche THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON
January 5, 201016 yr kinda obvious analogy lol It's acutally sad he doesn't have a job or go to school lol, ah well, hope the sacrafice was worth it, congratz :?.^lol
January 6, 201016 yr Such a shame they didn't even get to choose what kind of coffee they wanted.You can't choose your life, bud.
January 6, 201016 yr I'm trying to figure out what would be the "golden mug encrusted with various jewels" cup. Wouldn't that be different depending on who was drinking the coffee? To some it'd be about having fun with no consequences or responsibilities and for others it would just be surviving.
January 6, 201016 yr Mind = Blown I imagine that happens a lot. on topic: Makes sense, but then again it doesn't. I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001.

January 6, 201016 yr Ripped strait out of Zen Buddhist writings. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
January 6, 201016 yr That analogy was really corny and didn't even make sense. How can you be happy if you don't have a job to not pay for the food you eat? Maybe Lenin's low-quality cup analogy applies there.
January 6, 201016 yr Such a shame they didn't even get to choose what kind of coffee they wanted.You can't choose your life, bud.Oh yes you can. Or at least you can choose to add sugar or not, etc.
January 6, 201016 yr That analogy was really corny and didn't even make sense. How can you be happy if you don't have a job to not pay for the food you eat? Maybe Lenin's low-quality cup analogy applies there.Exactly. People who preach this stuff most likely are middle classmen living in a suburban city. We don't like to say we're greedy, but, nobody would give up 95% of their stuff for the less fortunate. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
January 6, 201016 yr Author That analogy was really corny and didn't even make sense. How can you be happy if you don't have a job to not pay for the food you eat? Maybe Lenin's low-quality cup analogy applies there. You obviously didn't "get" the analogy.It was never about going jobless or even about going with "stuff". It was about enjoying life (coffee) and not worrying about the much less meaninful things that are in your life (the cup). People in the story chose only the best cups, whereas they all just wanted the coffee so why did the cup matter? And to other people, quit over analyzing it and comparing it to a situation in real life. The goal of the analogy is to make a point; don't pick it a part and see if it works for everyone's ideas and values. It just has a simple point, and that is all.

I myself would consider thigns such as food and shelter essential parts of the brew, in the way that you need coffee beans to make good coffee. The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.[hide=Tifers say the darndest things]I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.I would laugh, not hate.

The point being enjoy life and don't worry about the cup? The cup being jobs, possessions and so on? Yeah..That's a great lesson to teach people. That they don't need to worry about how they'll support their life as long as they enjoy it. The thing is, your quality of life does now depend on jobs, money and social standing. If not, then what is there to enjoy? Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198
