Donald,
All I ask is that for a moment you consider that you are the Master Chef for
a village and people are bent on receiving food from your fire. In exchange
for your service of the 'fine' food you get an acceptable reward. You can
save time by having a friend do the shuttling of excellently prepared food.
Now, the question becomes do freinds of the Chef begin to bicker about who
gets to do the shuttling and if this is the case would the Chef feel
compelled to provide the shuttler of anything other then the opportunity of
providing an enjoyable experience on top of excellent food. When I am
entertained I feel the emotion of appreciation. What follows from this?
