the best mediocre…

We were high and we went out to eat at this very decent Italian food place. While we were eating it, I said “this is the best mediocre Italian food I’ve ever had” which really got me thinking.

Is that good? How did I know? How can something taste great but I know it’s not great?

And, once again, the value of getting high and opening up great questions.

Is mediocre god if I really love it? Is mediocre, mediocre if it’s not mediocre in the moment?
Am I always convincing myself something is great when I know it’s not?
