The following is a quote of Al Burian's from Burn Collector:
Experience can be approached in two ways: you can put things on a moral/qualitative scale, where say, on a scale of one to ten, one represents "a really bad time" and ten represents "a totally kick-ass time," and then go about the business of trying to have all your experiences be, if not tens, at least in the four to five range. Alternatively, you can put experience on the same scale they try to allude to with those little drawings of thermometers on the side of jars of salsa, where low-thermometer equals mild to bland, and high thermometer equals spicy and delicious. According to this rating system, traditional dichotomies of "bad" and "good" experience merely fall under the umbrella catagory of "spicy". The main thing to be avoided are not the "one" experiences but that low-thermometer "mild" salsa, because, really, if you like mild salsa, just face it, you don't like salsa. You like tomatoes. That's fine for you, but I myself am a spicy condiment individual and under my thermometer rating scheme your acceptable four and five scale experiences become my unacceptable mild salsa experiences.
