Would you like a recipt for your mugging? Also, before we go I’d like to offer our discount subscription service. For only four muggings each year, the bumps and bruises will only be cosmetic, and we’ll even call the ambulance for you! By the way, how would you rate your mugging experience this time?

In addition to letting go of non-destructive hedonistic shame, it’s important to take time to introspect and find what brings a person genuine fulfillment.
