Gratifying the senses...

Although I am not that much in my sorrow mood, I still don't feel the urge to cook nice things or buy nice things to eat. I searched for it on the internet, to see what the reason could be for this. I found a very interesting explanation to my condition.. It said that generally we consider eating a pleasurable thing, and we eat generally because we want to gratify our senses, in this case the tongue especially. Some people when they are not content and feel as if there is a big gap in their life, do not feel any impetus to gratify the senses, or doing anything pleasurable. And some are just the opposite, they try to fill this gap inside of them by eating as much as they can. I have noticed that with some people actually. When some of my friends feel down, they just eat as much as they can, and apparently they feel better. I on the other hand, only feel more more guilty so to say. It's strange that I say guilty, but that's kind of how I feel when I want to take something tasty, which I do not HAVE to eat. Lately that's how I feel.. "Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison." ~Lord Chesterfield. I guess because of my down-period I have somehow accumulated so much sadness, that it in a certain sense poisoned my appetite.. However on the other hand there is another beautiful quote "Let your tears come. Let them water your soul." ~Eileen Mayhew. This kind of correlates to one of the previous posts I wrote, about the space one needs in order to work with their sorrow.. I guess it's both.. As Albert Einstein also said "Life is like a bicycle, to keep our balance we have to keep on moving". I love that quote. Everything that is considered perfect, is in balance with everything.. Just think about it. :)
