Comfy?
The This-or-That for today centers on our lust for comfort, that which defines our society, explains our diseases and our wars, our celebrities and our fashions:
1. Lying down on the couch, or stretching out on a recliner? Lying down on the floor, reading a book, sipping a cool juice.
2. Going barefoot or wearing soft slippers? Barefoot. Everywere.
3. Eating ice cream, or pizza? Ice cream ? guilty, shameless ice cream.
4. Watching on TV...a classic movie or a reality show? Classic movies ? or better, cult films, indies, foreign unknown ones.
5. Wearing: blue jeans or sweat pants? Naked.
6. A long, soothing bubble bath or a quick, invigorating shower? Shower! Fast! Cold!
7. Furniture: leather, or something more on the fuzzy side? Leather on skin.
8. Soft, classical music, or upbeat rock & roll? Upbeat hard moving compelling classical music.
9. Darkness or light? Light. More light.
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You get married, or otherwise begin cohabitating with a significant other. S/he moves into your place, but brings with them the UGLIEST chair you have ever seen! You really don't want this thing in your home, but SO says it is the most comfy chair s/he has ever sat in, and no way will they part with it. Do you: grin and bear it, or scheme to get rid of the monstrosity somehow? The chair stays. Haven?t seen a chair I wouldn?t like.
But I wonder, where are the ethical questions lately?
