"Fast, and you will be fine" --Mohammad
We have always connected fasting with food. Fasting means stop eating, listening to music and saying bad things to others until the sunset.
Only recently I have got the time to contemplate food, and enjoy it for what it is. When it comes to desireables, the saying above should be put into practice.
When we stop watching something for a while, the time we get back to it, the pleasure of watching it and the anticipation grows a notch. It becomes different, no longer a duty. But an extra pleasure of life.
Consider fasting from the digital world. From your phone, your blackberry.
It's like taking a vacation from work. You love work but a vacation sure makes you more productive at it.
Take a break from coffee.
From your favorite hobby, or your best friend.
Call it abstinence, zen, fasting. It is a way to learn living with the who that is you, to discover the why that makes you what you really are.
When you return back to your normal life, it will feel pleasureable. It will have a meaning.
Have a pleasant night!
Jason Santa Maria (C)
