Collage made for me with open sources.
To drink beer or not to drink beer, that is the question. Almost always the answer is coffee...😆
Like Hamlet, in the Shakespearean drama, I found myself thinking about these issues of dichotomies. The difficulty of the fictional character is complex, and one of the elements of that complexity is that he must decide between two mutually exclusive options. It is a good exercise to propose options that are dichotomously opposed in order to evaluate our options with greater clarity. It is true for literature, it is true for philosophy, it is true for any scenario of our life!
I am a coffee drinker and I am a beer drinker. I don't drink coffee until I get intoxicated, although my average is high, and I don't drink beer until I get drunk, although my average is not very low and it is not high either.
I talk about beer because it is the alcoholic beverage that I consume the most on any given day, while others that I like very much, such as ponsigué rum, I drink almost exclusively at Christmas.
Well, I like beer and coffee very much and both are good to share with friends. Both are also good for an afternoon by the sea with good books. Both are good for watching a movie and for making some art. But there is nothing like coffee to wake up.
Coffee energizes me and energizes my thinking, while beer, after a certain limit, is not good for thinking and most likely after many it is not possible to know whether to be or not to be. With coffee, you always know who you are...
Coffee has been considered in its history, with scientific basis, as a beverage with psychoactive effects conducive to intellectual activity.
So you are more likely to solve a good dichotomous enigma of Hamlet philosophy by drinking coffee than by drinking beer!
Although you would have to consider which of the two, objectively speaking, would be the more enjoyable method of accompaniment!
I've had two coffees while I've made my coffee and my collage and I'm certainly a bit philosophical. I wouldn't give up coffee for anything in the world, although right now it's very, very hot and I'd rather have a very cold beer.
Finally, coffee will always allow you to work and see the stars serenely, to wake up without a hangover. It is not for nothing that coffee was able to enter circles around the world where grape wine found prohibitions.
Happy coffees to all.
