Spend any amount of time in a coffee house and you will reek
of lattes and espresso shots for the rest of the day. So you go home and take a
shower to replace the aroma of stale coffee with a fresh clean scent. But as
you dry off, you remember that you don’t want to do more laundry than you
already have. So you grab the clothes you were wearing, the ones that have been
permeated with the smell of the coffee beans. You also have an image to uphold,
the style that says that you don’t care about your appearance, but you don’t
want to chance running into someone again that day after changing your clothes.
Then you’d have to explain yourself and why you’ve undergone a middle of the
day wardrobe change. So the old coffee smelling clothes go back on, not as
repugnant as they once were as time has passed by. But you certainly don’t
smell clean anymore, and no one save for the utility company will know that the
hot water was running twice on that day.
“As a dog returns to
his vomit so a fool repeats his folly”
Proverbs 26:11
