Hunger Within

a philosophical thoughts of what lies within our soul seeking hunger

How does a person satisfy the hunger inside …

A certain appetite that grows every minute in each passing day

Once tasted you keep wanting for more …

 

Note:

There are many types of hunger within:

 

~ A seeking hunger for wisdom

Hunger for Truth

Hunger for Knowledge

Hunger for Answers

 

~ A yearning hunger within oneself

Hunger for Acceptance

Hunger for Freedom

Hunger for Justice

Hunger for Love

 

~ A specific hunger for flawlessness

Hunger for Beauty

Hunger for Immortality

Hunger for Perfection

 

~ A Hunger if not balance goes out of hand

Hunger for Power

 

 

> with all those above, if not handled moderately, excessiveness kicks in then its much harder to stop.

 ~~ i just realized now that i still don't have the right answer to my question above, for now i guess love will satisfy any hunger with added balance to it.

 

 

Author's Note

Its part of my mini booklet:
Excessiveness of Human Nature

I just sum up of all types of hunger i see from within...

I may not know how philosophy work or I don’t have any learning knowledge on how it works… But I believed on what Aristotle’s quotes said: “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” So I decided to put this up and share what I know about this piece.

The question above the note is what I hunger at some point of my life. And the Note just specify all I see around me and within me. With all that I hope you understand what I’m trying to conveyed in this piece, if not question me right away. :)

Enjoy learning my friends.

"Know thyself"...
I feel your hunger. Many times I have felt the same way you do. I keep on asking myself what I really want in life. There are lots of questions that I still don't know when would be answered...or if those are really answerable.
Hunger sometimes leads us to confusion. We are confused of what would make us complete. You know what? I am starting to discover it now... for I am doing things that make me happy - those things I'd love to do.
When we are engaged in a work, commitment, or any situation that we cannot get out of...hunger attacks. That's because we are not satisfied by the situation we have, and the kind of things we are doing. But when we determine how can we cope up with this trouble in ourselves, we develop ways on how to manage our time, allot enough for recreation and especially our hobbies which make us happy and contented.
But, I feel like you are an artistic or creative person - you are full of talents and skills which you cannot practice all due to your schedule, the place or something. You want to be accepted by the world for who you are, and yet you feel that some people take you for granted for being you. Don't worry. Like what you always advise to anyone, life is a survival. I know you have gone a long way in your path of life, and still you have to take the long road you want to go on.
I admire you because you have that eagerness to make a book (although you mentioned it as mini-book only). We are the same in that case because I also want to publish a book, or books, if God will allow me to, before I get older. I admire people like you....sort of inspiration. I learned a lot from you. Thanks.

Kabayan.... i want to say a big thanks... I am here rereading your words.... and i still find it overwhelmingly i'm in awe...

[Frieda P]

You've summed it up very nicely, the hunger the obsession, it's all there. Why did I not get a RR for this, I could have missed your wisdom here. Intriguing and lots to ponder, thanks Pax.

[Pax]

sorry my friend... i don't send rr now or i rarely sent one now a days... I'm glad you have found the wisdom on it... yes obsession..the expressiveness of our hunger... now that i realized it...the above mention are the most hardest to satisfy... thank you so much my friend...

[Frieda P]

My pleasure, and how am I supposed to know you brilliance is floating around out there? ;-)

[Pax]

you'll see around... you know my friend.. brilliance is a great honor to me... thank you.... for i don't see myself on that direction yet... for now I'm constantly learning about my life as an inspiration on how i see things...

[Frieda P]

As it should be, we never stop leaning until the day we cease to breathe....I learn something new every day...that makes you no less brilliant, just accept the compliment! ;-)

[Pax]

i will... yum, oh.. i was thinking about food... or i was thinking everything i have read here in WC is food for thought... still hungry for it... ;)thank you dear friend.

[Holly Mason]

this has my mind whirling with thought...hungry ,starving, famished
so many things so well spoken
thank you for sharing

[Pax]

thank you ms. Holly.

These are all part of being human and like the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, they are extremely unstoppable. Once needs being served at some point you never get satisfied. At a different level you feel the hunger more.
Hunger in stomach is the worst for me, Pax.
The kind of hunger that needs immediate solution unlike all that you have mentioned.
Provocative thought and tiring to think at times. :)

[Pax]

wow and lol on the hunger part...
I learned again another person in your awesome perspective...
i guess the power and beauty can be moderate but in oneself and wisdom... we are constantly indulging on it... keep learning and enjoying our freedom...though about love... there is satisfaction on it right?
thank you kabayan...

[Belle]

More than any other else, I think you understand with empathy what I meant by hunger in stomach. Our country is abundant with this kind of situation, that includes the two of us lol.

Satisfaction in love? Think of a couple, they have to dance continuously.

[Pax]

hmm... so meaning like they said love is everlasting... never ending... i believed in that as well... but what i felt that there is contentment in love and happiness... like something i have read... learning to appreciate what you already have ...is satisfaction right?

[Belle]

Yes, ideally but truth it does not work that way. :(

[Pax]

well at some point we keep seeking... but how can you say that? are getting Pessimistic already.. :( that in truth life is hard

[Belle]

Not just hard but darker. Truth about human being is not just depicted in Realism. You may search Naturalism Paxie. You might have the answers with all your questions here. :)

[Belle]

Marami ka ng babayaran sakin. Mahla din kaya ang magturo, per ora angbayd :P

[Pax]

oh god another food for thought... hmm... seems yum..lol... seems like you have read a great deal and heavy meaningful books dear kabayan... i hope those books does not make me sleep like any other books... that is why i prefer audio books kasi nakakapag multi tasking ako niyan...

[Pax]

hahahaha..... how much is your pay per hour kabayan... seems like i have lots of credits in your wisdomful thoughts.. :D

[Belle]

Heh, bola!
Literature Kabayan is the road to all branches of humanity. The reason why I have high regard to it, claiming it as the highest branch of humanity...I think I should stop from here. I might be accused again as brainless racist.

[Pax]

who would accuse you of such thing... your not, everyone has his/her own opinion on things... why do you say that... are there any branch of humanity i haven't heard of aside from literature.

[Belle]

Nakalimutan mo na kung sino? yung panget baga na babae. Pagulo dito sa WC.

[Sami Khalil]

This is really food for thought and it goes deep into the roots of our insatiable hunger for all the elements you have mentioned dear brilliant poet. I totally agree with your wisdom that we have to find the balance and not go to extremes between the physical hunger and the spiritual hunger for we are souls in a body .
Keep up your amazing work Mr. Pax...:)

[SHEEMA HUQ]
