“We force the servers to grovel for tidbits left out of the kindness of customers' hearts, and we extort customers into paying their salaries. No matter where you go and who you talk to, it seems like everyone hates America's tipping culture.” Hear hear.
Sermon Illustration Alert: If you’re a preacher and you can’t find a way to use this story in a sermon, turn in your ordination card.

“‘The Dark Night Project,’ is an effort to document, analyze, and publicize accounts of the adverse effects of contemplative practices.” Adverse effects? Of meditation? “In late January this year, Time magazine featured a cover story on ‘the mindful revolution,’ an account of the extent to which mindfulness meditation has diffused into the largest sectors of modern society….What the cover story did not address are what might be called the revolution's ‘dirty laundry.’” The “dirty laundry” includes meditation practitioners who were “fairly out of commission, fairly impaired for between six months [and] more than 20 years.” After all, meditation isn’t about learning to “get in the zone” but about discovering things such as life’s impermanence and the self’s non-existence. Interesting perspective.
