We must master our egoism, and through this mastery, step outside ourselves and educate ourselves in giving. Fasting requires that we rediscover all that is alive around us, and reconcile ourselves with our environment.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
Fasting is, first and foremost, an exercise for identifying and managing adversity in all its forms. With faith, in full conscience, fasting calls women and men to an extra degree of self-awareness.
If you slow it down, eat in courses, your body, mind, stomach will catch up with this full feeling and you won't eat as much.
The philosophy of fasting calls upon us to know ourselves, to master ourselves, and to discipline ourselves the better to free ourselves. To fast is to identify our dependencies, and free ourselves from them.
Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse.
I have a lot of adrenaline. I have a naturally fast system. But I love to eat, and I am not skinny.
Just try not to ingest a lot of fats, and just try to eat carefully.
I say eat fast and die young.
Just take care of yourself and eat right.
