Preferences

"we are taught to develop preference as signs of importance and position." Mark Nepo

Nepo goes on to say that joy is found in being satisfied where we are, whether in the front row or the bleachers.  It seems to me it is a continuum.  With "making do" at one end and "demanding preferences" at the other.  I have spent time at the "making do" end, and I know people who spend considerable time stating their preferences.  It seems to me it is better to reside in the middle, as in most things.
