Chip guilt; is snack food "really okay " = no justification for something that only glorifies the flesh; rotten sensual experience versus God's plan for food as nourishment; NATURAL VS MANUFACTURED
Unconditional love: "I'll still miss you" vs "I can't miss you because I don't know you" = the NC irony. You don't need to "know" someone immediately and totally to miss them. You just need to love them. And love automatically seeks AND obtains that knowledge. I only knew a few tiny things about him and many other folks-- I don't "know them" as complete people because circumstances never allowed-- BUT I still miss them because I still love them and their lives HAVE VALUE TO ME, hence the "missing" proper.
I immediately think of old outspacers too. I WANT to know who they are as people, so of COURSE I miss them, even if I never got to spend much time with them. The "missing" comes from CARING, not from experiences obtained!!
