Jesus, I don't understand.
You call me away from small and weak and silly things to love big and beautiful things.
But I don't have a taste for your things yet.
I like Oreos and Arbor Mist and McDonald's.
You're offering me gourmet - European chocolate, $100 dollar wine, caviar - but Jesus -
I don't really like it that much.
I know it's better.
It just tastes nasty.
So how am I supposed to survive in the interim?
You are calling me away from my cheap substitutes.
But I don't like the real things yet.
So here, now, will nothing satisfy?
Will nothing make me happy?
Will I just have to wait here, McDonald's forbidden but caviar repugnant?
I know that eventually, your food will satisfy me much deeper than anything I've ever eaten.
But if I can’t eat what delights me now, and what I ought to eat doesn’t delight me yet, then there's nothing left to delight in - and how can I do this without delight?
