I might add: artificially induced and sustained hunger.

[TomahawkWarfare]

this is a perfect story to describe the deep hunger americans feels for material possessions

[m4lign4nt]

terrific story... this has stuck with me for a while since it came out. what an interesting way to describe the human condition.

Hello my friend, im proudly Mexican, a book where you can find all this stories is The Popol Vuh is the history of the Mayans, maybe you can find it in any large storebook. Greetings!!!! ;)

[locknoir]

Does anyone know of a place or book that has more of these kinds stories?

[PARANOIDPUPPETT]

@l2enegadesofFunk the spanish conquistadores didn't show up until 900 years after the mayan civilazation had already passed away. and you are right the mayans were some of the most intelligent beings on the planet, they practiced astrology that is to the percentage correct as our most modern science, were artist and politicians, and fully understood the concept of "0" where europeans didn't understand until around 500 years later

[PARANOIDPUPPETT]

the earth was not made for humans, humans were made to serve the earth. this hunger is what leads our people astray from genuine fulfillment. in a society where we are much more disconnected from nature, it is harder to realize the fact that we are now born with the hole naturally and socially, in the way that westerners are brought up with the idea that if you have no money, you are nothing. i too fear for the man, for he has lost his vision and has a far greater appetite.

@TomahawkWarfare Its also becoming chronic in the u.k and one would imagine japan too, I feel like a man among wannabe boy bands half the time. what a shame.

[MrSweatish]

Understand and be aware of this and make the hunger go away. What the man describes could be in our time compared to why monks meditate. The opposite of this is when someone is enlightened or spiritual conscious, the highest state of what people call inner peace, in the moment, happiness. We all should try to become a fixed point in the universe, independent of success or failure, not swaged by emotions. When we have this, we will be complete

[TheDreamingTiger62]

Yeah.....and then we wouldn't need to consume the entire world trying to fill the void.

[TheDreamingTiger62]

If we work on 'closing the hole' it'll free us from 'want' and unhappiness.That's what I got out of the story.
