EXACTLY! We turned eating into a ceremonial glorification of the splendors of the human tastebud's abilities!

The understanding of suffering is this...you learn how something feels/smells/tastes/sounds and develop a want for that to be repeated. Now you have "suffered" want to have that again...it is based in flesh.

Long story so short beginning here. I had a mild internal injury 3 years back in the area where the large/small intestine joins and digesting food of any kind in any way really severely super duper bad hurt no matter what I did! I just quit eating for the relief it was so bad...yeah it was that bad. BUT...I learned I could quite comfortably skate across nearly 2 wks (13 days) without anything but water. First two days are what you would call "tough" but after that, it's easy really. Suffered nary a negative effect one...no tired, groggy, weak, any other BS like that...did wonderfully actually! Well besides the injury part as I was healing/housebound mostly.
