People have tried to de-cute the meditation story because they say that of course a friend will give you fresh towels because why would they give you used towels? I don’t think they realize that they’re making a great point but not in the way they think they are. Yeah, a FRIEND will give you fresh towels and that’s not remarkable. You know when it’s rare to be given fresh towels because of familiarity and closeness? When you’re staying with your significant other.
