Pain is there.

This hurts my soul:

I had written a 500-word essay on why it is so painful (a cooking school that teaches microwaving, the Westernization of things, the lost art of cooking, the lack of nutrition, the idea that cakes can be baked in a microwave...), but then I realized that no one else cares as much as I do.

But still, teaching people how to use a microwave.. and making people pay for that lesson.. that is obviously exploitation.

Pain is there.
