ThePhysopher's definitions
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.

Get the zen-alcoholicmug. A careless believer. Someone who hears a statement or story and takes it for granted without considering the implications of that story. In religion, this is the belief in miracles as the multiplication of bread or the belief in an afterlife of a human after having seen the macabre decay of body (and brain). The opposite is an illuminated person who considers the plausibility and the side effects of a story.
There is no sense to discuss this with her. She just believes that she hears the spirits of the deceased talking, just willy-nilly. She is a willy-nilly believer in many things. Maybe she should take a course in physics. Or in psychology.

The Fosca effect is therefore the feeling of an old person when he or she outlives their friends and the other people around them also disappear. It is a mixture of melancholy, pride and the guilt of still being alive.
Why is your father so sad? It's the Fosca effect, another one of his school friends has died.
I really must write my memoirs. It's probably the Fosca effect: if I don't do it, who else will?
