or why at times it was/is a blessing to be compelled to fast.
I'm thinking of a the miserable saturated rich, who cannot enjoy all the wealth that is surrounding them. Like somebody from my own family put it: "One can never have enough."
What a blessing it would be to fast again because firstly one can again learn to appreciate simple food or as somebody put it "reality". And a step further when one breaks the fast, the more sophisticated, luxurious food will taste just this.
Maybe this is also a comment on the prices some works of art raised in auctions just recently.
There is this anecdote by Francis Bacon, who himself living in a hotel, once encountered a man carrying bags full of food into this hotel. When Bacon enquired about it, he replied that he was missing fixing his own meals.
"Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more"
