were discussing their lives at a class reunion. They decided to go visit their old university professor,
now retired, who was always an inspiration to them.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work, lives and
relationships.

Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot
chocolate and an assortment of cups. Some cups were porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite. He invited each to help
themselves to the hot chocolate.

cheap ones.”

“The cup that you are drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides
what we drink.”
