Thought of the Day: The Boil of Contentment

Thought: The secret to happiness is low expectations and a reliable kettle.

---

The Sage has long maintained that true enlightenment begins in the kitchen. Grand ambitions are all very well, but it’s the small certainties — a good brew, a warm mug, and a kettle that doesn’t pack up mid-boil — that keep life bearable.

By lowering expectations, The Sage argues, you become immune to disappointment. Expect little, and even a working appliance feels like a spiritual awakening. Expect too much, and you’ll spend your days shouting at the Wi-Fi and resenting the weather.

This thought reminds us that joy isn’t found in luxury or success, but in the comforting hiss of water meeting tea leaves. Happiness, in other words, is best served with a spoonful of realism and a splash of milk.
