In the world, there are a lot of people being on the verge of starvation. Even I feel hungry and want just only foods if I cannot eat anything till the night.
People who cannot eat anything everyday are even more hard.
I was also striked "Thanksgiving dinner'sh sad and thankless. Christmas dinner's dark and blue. When you stop and try to see it From the turkey's point of view."
It was very interesting that that aphorism see Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas from turkey's. There are a many aphorisms which are written by human's view, so the aphorism is very uncommon.
I think these are my two favorite aphorisms, too. The one by Mahatma Gandhi means that people's basic needs need to be met before they can even begin to think of such things as education, politics, and especially spiritual matters. If you're starving, a loaf of bread will look like God him(or her)self.
返信削除The quote by Shel Silverstein is very interesting as well. It's true; we seldom look at our dinner form the perspective of what we're eating. You can hear songs that were written by Shel Silverstein in this YouTube video. He wrote songs that were sung by Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash.
