Tea Argument

(I was explaining to Emend, who you don't understand)

Tea is burny.

So it's bad if it's mandatory.

Aesthetes enjoy mandatory tea.

Aesthetes must be willing masochists.

But not if it's repetitive, in most cases.

{In Japan, the Samurai enjoyed lots of tea,

but it was also a place in which people cut each other apart}

Apparently, even aesthetes can't handle mandatory punishment.

I was reasoning.

{I'm a tea drinker, however, I just don't like it really hot}
