To anyone who knows what it is like to not have food should know that stuffing one's self for but a brief moment will hurt more than maintaining the hunger for the long haul. For this I gear myself.
A person who is used to little or nothing will not feel the bitter bite of hunger that a well fed belly will feel. Social conditions not self inflicted caused this manifestation, but then it morphs itself into self-conditioning so it will not hurt as much the next time round.
Can it be said that the well maintained carnivorous/herbivorous individual who maintains a belly full times three daily will wince at the one small portion of grub that is had every other day? Me thinks yes as I have been there. When you have nothing you have nothing to lose. When you have lost it all you learn.
Does it not seem that pleasure of all kinds relates to sorrow on the morrow? Alas, the responsibility lies upon the head of the starved who have feasted. As always, knowledge gained comes from the experience and knowing the ramifications of our deeds. At least the foundation of starvation exists and will be easily reverted back to. ~ Maggie ~ August 7, 2008 @ 6:01 p.m.
