My main thought during the Orange Exercise was "I really want to eat this orange." The tastiest part of the orange is the juice; every other part pales in comparison. Eating the orange slowly made me realize this. When I eat the orange quickly, I get maximum deliciousness as I bite into a slice and the juice pours out. I quickly swallow the rest. Eating it slowly, I noticed the taste of the rest of the orange, and it doesn't taste very good. If I were to experience the world with this kind of mindfulness, I would definitely gain a greater understanding of how things work. It would also take me a really long time to do most things.
