Extrapolating with H2O
I was hungry this evening so I thought I would make myself something to eat. I looked at the cupboard. I had beef flavored Ramen and 'oriental' flavored Ramen. I never understood oriental flavored Ramen anyway. I guess it just blends the essential flavors of all coastal Asian countries together? I bet LA is just the place for that sort of culinary melting pot. And for 10 cents, it's a deal! So I made oriental beef Ramen. I was thirsty so I got a liter bottle and filled it with tap water. I don't drink enough generally, although I like to think I'm not too dehydrated normally, but when I do, I drink a lot. That isn't healthy, or so says the healthcare professionals at my work. So it makes me wonder if I am drinking water more for utility (staying alive) or pleasure. I like drinking water and I tend to do things I like, so in that sense I guess it is for the pleasure of drinking water. But it also serves a function. A person I hold dear to me used to tell me often that when two causes of seemingly diametrically opposed sources affect a situation, it truth tends to be more of a mix of the two instead of one or another. It makes sense in this case, but it gets harder to when applied to other things. I like water because water is good for me, but I drink water because I like it so I use it in ways that aren't. It's simple. But why do I like rock music or dancing or why do I prefer to stay in my room than head outside? I don't know, but it's certainly something to think about.
