Hunger


For the past three days, I have been fasting, it was tough, to say the least. My understanding of hunger is much deeper. All emotional feelings were so much more heightened, and senses were heightened.
In areas of life were I would not have an opinion I had an opinion; in areas where I would never concern myself on an emotional level, I concerned myself to the point where now there are some regrets. (hunger is the root cause of many negative emotions and problems in the world. If we are not already hungry we worry about the looming threat of hunger, and shelter).
I prepared some food I sat and thanked God, mother earth, and the sun for creating life and our food. I ask God to bless the sustenance I was about to take into my body. Upon completion of my prayers the realization, and understanding of the hunger that is taking place around the world. Innocent children, millions of people starving. ??
As I am writing this I am wondering, why are human beings lacking food, health care, and education in our world today when the truth is there is an abundance of everything.
We live in a world where so many buy things they don't need and will never use; landfill sites and oceans around the planet are proof of this fact.
So really what is the problem? The problem with the world is that those who are doing well never reach out and do what needs to be done in the world. Kindness, love, compassion, and understanding is not much to ask for, and it's free.

Much love??
