Sometimes I get a craving for something. Sometimes it’s strong enough that I go right out there and get it, whatever it is. Sometimes it isn’t quite intense enough and then the deliberation begins and goes on for a few moments, a couple of days. Is it worth paying the price it costs to satiate my desire at the level that it’s at? On occasion, the craving grows over the thinking process. Then it comes to this. It crosses a point where it no longer matters how much value I’m getting for the money I’m paying. That’s how I ended up with a precious box of Post Maple Nut Crunch cereal, which I held protectively in my arms as I made my way home today.
