Episode 495: The truth about good relationships (tea over rice)

The truth about good relationships is that good relationships are
boring. No one particularly likes to admit this, but that doesn't
change the fact of the matter. Good relationships are stable,
reliable, predictable, and free of conflict and drama. This is
neither particularly interesting nor exciting. In general, one's
capacity to have a good relationship is directly correlated with
one's ability to tolerate boredom. Using Yasujiro Ozu's metaphor
for marriage -- the flavor of tea over rice -- we can appreciate
the humble simplicity that characterizes a good relationship.
