when you like drinking alcohol per se but regard a teaspoon of whisky as the right dose to draw the pleasure of drinking. The tablespoon is then at the boundary to alcoholism. You stay within the field of Zen combining the pleasures of body and mind.
My wife and me, we are zen-alcoholics. It is our zen philosophy to enjoy whisky etc. but because alcohol with wine at lunch and at dinner is accumulating through the day, we restrict to the enjoyable minimum. This gives the pleasure of nice drinks plus the good feeling of self-mastery, it is just zen.

Hypercapitalism is the brusque and blunt way in which today's super billionaires exercise their power. Examples include Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

It is the paradox that Israel was meant to be a safe haven for the Jews of the world. Now, conversely, Israel's actions are creating insecurity for Jews in many countries.
The Israeli army's actions provoked counter-demonstrations in many countries, from New York to Berlin and Istanbul. The Israel Paradox is at work again.
