When You Are Hungry, You Should Eat!

When you are hungry, you should eat. When you are thirsty, you should drink. Simple statements.

I can always say this to people. In fact, anyone can say this, without hesitation, to anyone. It is a clear message. In fact, it is a simple message that feeble mind can understand, comprehend, grasp. How difficult it is to understand that. Thus how difficult it is to follow. Extremely simple, when you are hungry, you should eat.

Lets think. The irony of this statement is that it is so difficult to follow, at least in some situation. And at least once in their lifetime human been into such situation. How easy or how difficult is it to understand the difficulties that lies behind that statement? Well, only the one that has experienced it knows that answer. Or if one still unable to understand what I mean, just imagine our parents, skipping lunch just because he or she had used all the cash  he or she has to buy our new uniform for school. In the midst of hunger, they persist. In some situation, the statement 'you should eat' will truly hurt.

Why there is pain when we are hungry? Hunger is not fun. Its like a craving for drug. Thirst likewise. Well, there is no pain in hunger if we are plentiful. Hunger, oddly, goes along when we have less.

It is so easy for human with plentiful to speak about 'When you are hungry, you should eat'. It is easy because they have plenty. But it is so hurting for human with need to do it. Logically, why should the hungry go hungry if there is something to eat. And should one resist himself from eating if he is able to eat. This question often missed by the human of plenty.
