The man who has allowed his body to deteriorate cuts a pitiful figure - chest collapsed, stomach protruding.

The essence of a man is found in his faults.
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
Cut off from his religious, metaphysical and transcendental roots, man is lost; all his actions become senseless, absurd, useless.
Man becomes weak or ill by accident as a consequence of the lack of resources. Even the most severally ill patients must be treated with the aim of restoring their health.
When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.
A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the 'why' for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any 'how.'
A man's character is his fate.
A man endures misfortune without complaint.
You take away the handicap of obesity, and this person becomes someone else. Take a jolly fat man for instance. You talk to him, and his heart is breaking. He wants to be thin.
A bellyful is a bellyful.
