Sometimes, strange memories of my childhood surface. I got hit with the phrase "may your rice bowl always be full". It is usually a blessing. I also remember that it could be cast as a curse. Very zen/confucian/abstract is what I thought in my childhood. As an adult, with an overflowing rice bowl (not cash, but work and other things) I am realizing the other side of that blessing, the curse, is not so abstract, it is substantial.
