Hunger

Hunger

18.06.04

How we react when we become hungry is an example of how perilous conditioning is. When we are hungry we rush to satisfy our hunger by setting (or getting set) our table in the dining room (or buying food across the counter). The key word in the previous sentence is ‘rush’. The slightest rumblings of hunger and we are off towards food. In other words, we succumb with lighting speed. Do not succumb. Watch your hunger build up within you. There is a probability that the hunger will pass, having come on in the first place only as a consequence of habit – the approaching hour that was fed the previous day, for instance.
