Once a guy ordered a bowl of tomato soup in a nice restaurant. The waiter brought him the soup quickly. It was hot and fresh. The patron then looks into the bowl and finds a fly in his soup; he immediately tells the waiter. The waiter apologizes profusely. The manager gets involved, and ultimately the patron’s whole meal is free.
Once a frog hopped into a frog restaurant. The frog orders a bowl of tomato soup in this really nice frog restaurant. The frog waiter brought the soup quickly. The frog patron looks into his bowl of soup and finds a fly; he immediately tells the waiter. The waiter replies, “Hey, be quiet, if you say anything, everybody else will want a fly in their soup too!”
What is it that we find repulsive about others depending on our perspective? What do others find loathsome in us depending on their viewpoint? What in our culture seems normal to us that should be loathed and reviled and driven out and reformed were we to see it with an unbiased eye?
