The Paradox of Minimalism mug

The Paradox of Minimalism may be summed up in one sentence: "If less is more, how little is too much?" There are NIL Google results for that phrase, a quotation now attributable to Possom Cohen, New Zealand. Time becomes more valuable as one ages. This is a classic example of the Paradox of Minimalism. The Paradox of Minimalism is related to the passage of time and to The Holiday Paradox. Why Does Time Seem to Speed Up with Age? July 1, 2016 Scientific American Bonnie Raitt addressed the passage of time and the Paradox of Minimalism in her song "Nick Of Time." Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time "I see my folks are getting on And I watch their bodies change I know they see the same in me And it makes us both feel strange No matter how you tell yourself It's what we all go through Those lines are pretty hard to take When they're staring back at you Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time When did the choices get so hard With so much more at stake Life gets mighty precious When there's less of it to wa-a-a-aste Mmm-m-m-m-m-m Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time" + There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.” ― Woody Allen, Annie Hall: Screenplay

It was for a friends 70th b-day. When we order it, it was going to come 2 day after the party. But we were so excited it came 3 days before his party. It was a big hit. Thank you.

I gave it as a gift and the recipient loved it. No indication where it was made, so maybe USA? That would be really nice, if so.

Damonism and #Stolen Valor Coffee Mug These coffee mugs are rugged, solid, high quality and keep the liquids hotter, longer. The definitions of both mugs are spot-on! I will definitely by more. Great work Urban Dictionary!

I really like the mug, but I thought I had ordered the all pink one. What came was a white with a block of pink with "Fubar" written on it.

the only reason why i care about humanity this mug is the reason why i believe humanity deserves a second chance, even after they blaspheme my name. this mug is the greatest thing i've ever seen and i have ordered many of them. this mug replaces the holy grail. the bible should've told about the wonderful deeds of the mug and how it saved humanity from my wrath. alas, whilst the laws keep me from tampering with human minds and altering holy objects like the bible, i can only pass on my message: "spread the news and buy this mug!"

It was easy to correct grammar when necessary, and then to order a great gift for a member of a wedding party. Nice, simple, and sturdy mug.

The mug is of good quality but advertisement needs to change as the sample photo for ordering gives the customer an illusion that the entire mug is of that color ordered when it is not
