There's some sort of nuance here that I can't yet quite grasp.
PHP (or meditation) is just a tool to get some job done, and getting too excited about the tool means you lose track of the job.
But at the same time, it's all about the journey not the destination.

So yes, don't get too excited about the toothbrush, but don't dismiss the process of brushing your teeth either
