Hello, welcome to the POV (point of view) stories for “Search for Meaning.”
Same story, let’s start.
Chris has always hated vegetables.
He has only liked steak.
He has only eaten steak, always, since he was a little baby.
Since he was a little baby Chris has hated vegetables.
Since he was a little baby he has only eaten steak.
He has only liked steak.
Of course his mother has been worried about him.
She has been worried about him because he never ate vegetables.
His mother has admonished him every day.
Every day since he was a baby, until recently, his mother has admonished him.
She has admonished him and she has said “Chris, eat your vegetables.
You must eat your vegetables.”
Well, she has admonished him every day, but Chris has ignored her every day.
He has never eaten his vegetables.
He has never listened to her.
He has continued to eat steak and only steak.
He has eaten steak for breakfast, he has eaten steak for lunch, he has eaten steak for dinner
every day since he was a baby.
He has been a steak eatin’ baby all his life.
Of course this has had unintended consequences.
Because he has eaten only steak he has become fat very quickly.
He has become very, very fat.
In fact, each year he has gotten fatter and fatter and fatter very, very fast until, finally,
he weighed 725 pounds when he was five years old.
Of course this was terrible.
And at that time, when he became five, his mother became very worried and so she decided
to pursue a new strategy.
She pursued a new strategy with Chris.
She said to Chris one day, “Chris, you know they kill poor kind little cows to make steak
and you love animals, so Chris, follow your conscience.”
Oh, Chris became upset.
He thought about the little poor cows being killed!
Well, what ensured, next, was that Chris stopped eating steak.
He completely stopped and he learned to love vegetables.
He ate vegetables every day.
And, of course, because he ate vegetables every day he became thin and healthy and strong.
He was a happy little boy.
And that is the end of our first point of view story for “Search for Meaning.”
Next, let’s go to the future.
In the future, 100 years from now, in space or something, I don’t know, into the future.
There will be a boy named Chris.
This boy will hate vegetables.
He’s going to hate them.
He’ll never eat vegetables.
He’ll only like steak and he’ll only eat steak.
Of course his mother is going to admonish him every day to eat vegetables.
She’ll say “Chris, eat your vegetables.
You must eat your vegetables!”
There will be unintended consequences.
He will become fatter and fatter and fatter.
He won’t want to be fat, but it will be an unintended consequence of eating steak
and only steak.
So he’ll become a very fat little boy.
In fat, he’ll become super fat, obese.
He’ll weight 725 pounds.
He’ll only be five years old.
Now, of course, his mom is going to be very worried and she’ll decide to pursue a new
strategy.
One day she’s going to say to him “Chris, they kill poor kind little cows to make steak
and you love animals, so Chris, follow your conscience.”
And Chris will become very upset, of course, and he’ll decide to stop eating steak.
In fact, what will ensue is that he’ll stop eating steak completely.
He’ll learn to love vegetables and he’ll become thin and super healthy and very strong.
Chris will become a happy, healthy, thin little boy.
And that is the end of our point of view stories for “Search for Meaning.”

strong physiology, always.
