About This Quote
Coffee is a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your older self. Though coffee can be a good thing, it is also a way of stealing the time of your future self. It is a way to grab a little bit of time from your future self and give it to yourself now. This attitude about coffee is one that often comes from people who are not considering the impact they have on others.
Think about someone who always has things to say, or someone who is always late for appointments, or someone who never completes projects, or someone who is always late for school. Their behavior could be traced back to their attitude toward coffee. They might not drink much, but they do drink at the wrong time and take more time than they need to.
They might even be reaping a sort of “time debt” from themselves because they don’t respect the time that should be going to their future selves.
