Corrected Textmore↓The cup paranoiac
I drink milk from a very tall glass and I also use the same for water, however for fresh tomato juice I drink with an ordinary cup and rather suitable it will be if it’s a red one like «Nescafe»
However, I drink coffee with a very wide yellow bowl, because earlier for this purpose I utilised a huge white one which was substantially deeper (and of course, taller), but unfortunately, one careless moving of my hand and it is too late - it turns upside down scattering it's contents - the sugary liquid - all around and on my keyboard too. Damn! And as a result its keys have become un-pressable and I am too lazy to wash and dry them.
That never happens to the yellow bowl, because of its good balance and its wide round form making it stable seemingly like the ancient Russian ship Lodya.
So I decided to not allow the deep white mug to appear on my computer desk and it is now so angry, watching me with no-respect from the bookshelf, and so I can see its look saying: "Oh, well, you must not forget to take me to be washed with water".
On the other hand, such yellow bowls do never live very long. After around 3-4 months they begin to break down. Exposed to the abnormally hot temperature of the liquids, at first they are covered with little lines. Each line is part of its individual story and experience.
And eventually, the number of the lines becomes increasingly dangerous, more and more so and the yellow cup begins to be so much more sensitive and clever than I, and waits until there is a moment of time in which it throws its hand away and so that after I will understand it lost and free.
Thus, it turns into the subject having the right to define its own life and clearly such the vessel doesn't want to be a container for any awful extract and this circumstance makes me feel its sacred nature.
