i hate it when people condemn things as useless or unnecessary. if you think it to be useless or unnecessary for yourself, then don't do it or use it. there's no need to impose your opinion on others.

i love tea ceremonies. the whole calculated precision, tradition, meaning of it all. chinese tea ceremonies.. the cup to smell, the cup to drink from. japanese tea ceremonies. the effort, concentration put into it. the turning of the bowl. if i had to choose one liquid to have for e rest of my life, it'd be tea (:
