Chakra Khan

I don't normally discuss this with others, but I tend to see different people in the world in terms of 'chakras', a Hindu concept. In this view, basically there's a hierarchy of desire and motivation, starting in your groin and moving up to right above your head. I think of people as being driven by one principle chakra. There are like seven or eight, but most people around here are driven by stomach, heart, and brain. The need to feed, love, fuck, think, and/or buy things.

No, really, this is how I see things. Maybe a more interesting metaphor would be 'which Deadly Sin predominantly drives someone'?

Oh right, what's the relevance here? The statement this woman makes that she hasn't thought about science and stuff, because she needs to feed her children. Can't get to the head chakra and think about shit if you're busy trying to satisfy stomach chakra and just fuckin' survive.

Somehow I doubt that someone on TV really needs to worry about feeding though. More likely it's just laziness.
