Hunger

Hunger is an interesting force... It can help to drive us in a direction we're focused on, moving toward whatever it is we seek, even energizing us to go toward that direction... At the same time hunger can also consume us like ulcers hidden away but felt... All that we wish for... All that we desire... when latched onto can eat away at us and cause pain and suffering... Pleasure and Pain... Pain and Pleasure... Swinging too far in either direction often brings us close to death... Sometimes actual physical death... Sometimes mental death... reawakening...
