I know how hunger feels. Your stomach is touching your backbone. There is a huge cramp in your belly. You are weak and very tired. All you can do is lie down. But you can’t sleep because you are too hungry. On the other hand, my daughter says she has never experienced that kind of hunger. So I asked her “if you were hungry and couldn’t feed your child, what would you do?” She said, “I don’t know. I think I might take a chance on going in a store and steal food”. Because I have too much pride, my reply was I couldn’t believe that she would take a chance on going to jail instead of asking someone to please buy her some food, because she was hungry.
I have no problem asking for food if I need it. It’s not that I don’t have any pride; I just feel there is no shame in asking for what you need.
