Lesson 174: The Person Who is Hungry...

Today goes to a lesson of hunger. The differences between ourselves to others. I have the privilege of not having to worry about the food I eat, where as someone who suffers from hunger would just be pleased to fill their stomach. We get so obsessive on our fad diets, eating clean, or even just indulging in some luxury food item, when there are so many people who don’t even get a choice nor do they get fed. I think that’s something we need to think about from time to time. Just how grateful we need to be. For this lesson we are to remember a time we were truly hungry and how that taught us. If you haven’t gone hungry in some time, how do you think it could teach you now?

I think the last time I was truly hungry was more recent then I care to admit. For some reason I thought it would be good to not have breakfast, because I was going to a café with a friend, though I didn’t consider the time it would take to get to this place. So, the whole car ride I felt ill as I was starving and probably had car sickness also.  I was lucky because I knew at the end of that trip would be a meal. I was going to indulge into something nice. Not everyone has this luxury. Some people don’t even get to eat the regular meals of the day. I think we take for granted this basic concept.
