Word of the Week #204:

Cryptic

So, I love Thums Up, right?

Is it the best drink in the world? I think so. But is it, actually? I don’t know.

Is the the healthiest drink in the world? Resoundingly, no.

Now, does this restrict me from expressing my love for Thums Up? Of course not. 

I can still keep talking about how much I love it, as I tend to do.

I can keep recommending it or offering it to my friends, as I tend to do.

I can buy more of it and let the shopkeepers know of my preference for it, so that they have an incentive to stock up more of it, which again encourages more customers to buy it. 

I cannot hold down someone’s nose and pour Thums Up into their mouths.

I cannot disregard studies into harmful effects of caffeine or sugar or soda.

Does knowing and admitting its drawback dilute my love for Thums Up? Of course not.

That is how love should be.
