"Drink tea slowly and reverently."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~
----!!!!----
Enjoying the small things of life with gratitude and awareness is Zen!
But your awareness or meditation is against society. Society doesn’t worry about your awareness. Society wants you to remain mechanical. Did you see? If you do something every day, it becomes mechanical. You do not need to remain aware while doing that. The more mechanical you are, the more effective and productive you are. Society wants you to remain mechanical. It is in the benefit of the society. Your awareness has no use to the society. In fact aware people question everything which at times look anarchic. Hence society is often against aware people like Socrates, Jesus and Buddha. Let them be, you just enjoy your tea!
