Coffee: Freedom in a Cup

The whole coffee phenomena in our culture is a self-sustaining cycle. Even for those who do not drink coffee, we probably are still apart of the coffee culture in some way. We are always surrounded by someone who is indeed a coffee drinker.

The coffee drinker will go out at various hours of the work day and offer to bring you something back. And of course the favor is returned- next time it'll be your turn to offer to bring them something back (most likely it will be coffee). This is kind of like an unspoken rule in our society that allows this cycle to continue on forever and ever and ever.

Thank goodness for the coffee break right, otherwise we'd be left with only our lunch ours to have some time to ourselves. Lunch hours usually last for 30 minutes to an hour and that's when the street are filled to the brim with bustling people and noisy cars that it isn't possible to catch a breath and relax for a bit.

Naturally, people will experience crimps in their necks during the day and want to walk around and stretch about or simply see the sights outside the building. If you think about it, it's really coffee that gives us all this sense of freedom (even if it's brief stolen moments out of the day).

Coffee: Solace in a Bottle

Even if you aren't an avid coffee drinker, you too have the privilege of going on a "coffee break" to do whatever you want, whether it's to buy a pack of gum, or to call a friend, etc.

So yes, coffee is more than a drink. It is solace in a bottle. It allows us to feel human again instead of a monkey trapped in a concrete building all day long. It's the last vestige of freedom during the working hours of 9-5, which has been demarcated by the powers that be to be when we are all drones working to make another person wealthier while we get older.

The only time we have to ourselves is on the weekends and 2 measly weeks out of the year to spend with our families and friends. That is of course if work doesn't get in the way.

But I digress, the bottom line is, we should be grateful that we have these "coffee breaks"- almost like a magical time when we can shut off the world and day dream like when we were in elementary school.

The next time you go buy coffee hopefully you will see it in a different light. It's much more than just a drink to quench your thirst. If you were thirsty you could always get any variety of drink ranging from water, to soda, to tea, or juice. Coffee holds a special place in the food/beverage chain. Shouldn't you be taking care of your coffee?
