Good essay, N'Gai. I appreciate the connection to Aristotle. I've heard lots of times about the way we can't seem to simply "sit" with ourselves, and you've done a good job of bringing out that--with some nice humor along the way. I linked to your article here: http://www.coffeeculturekingdom.vox.com.
Keep up the good work!
