Hungers That Drive Us

Emotional and Physical Hunger

Fighting physical hunger is a worldwide task.

Physical starvation…slow or fast is painful.

You can watch the body wither.

It is not something chosen…it is inflicted.

Good nutrition over time and in time can prevent physical death.

Fighting emotional hunger is perhaps our biggest unrecognized worldwide task.

We can’t see it in the outer body.

We do see it in destructive behaviors and in troubled relationships. We see it in a troubled soul.

Emotional starvation…slow or fast, like physical starvation, is also painful

You can watch the soul wither.

It too is not something chosen…it is inflicted.

Safe loving connections, provided over time and in time can prevent emotional soul death.

A well nourished body that contains a malnourished soul is a very dangerous body indeed.

What good is a well nourished body that contains a malnourished soul?

Is a malnourished body that contains a healthy soul not better than a healthy body with a malnourished soul?

Look at the people around you and look for signs that they are starving emotionally.

Then feed them something nourishing.

Doing that is something nourishing for your own soul, over time and in time.
