Food and What Not?
Was having lunch just now, munching my buns listening into Starusticity's conversation with the other 2 colleagues. Starusticity was talking about how and why she ate her 3 day old sandwich coz she was thinking about the African children hungry and dying. 1 of the colleagues was praising her on how she has grown up and matured in her thinking. I remained quiet and begged to differ.
When I couldn't finish something, I just stopped eating it else I'll simply puke and still waste it. Ok, maybe that's just for me but I remembered seriously jokingly asking my secondary friend a decade ago so what if she thought about the hungry children, adults alike there, so what if she finished her food? Is that gonna help them in anyway? Your food's yours. But of coz that's again my own logical twisted way of thinking.
Imagine this, Fat Person A dies stuffing himself silly with a 5 day old salad coz he was thinking about the African kids with no food whatsoever to eat. In his afterlife, Fat Person A met Skinny Person B, an African kid who died of hunger.
Fat Person A: How did you died? Skinny Person B: Of hunger. No food to eat. How about you? Fat Person A: I died stuffing myself with food. Skinny Person B: ... Skinny Person B walks away in contempt...Then there was also this Chinese myth that I heard from Starusticity just now. It seems that if you're always wasting food - likely the person is me coz I always can't finish them - in your afterlife, you'll be sentenced to eating pails and pails of food as some kind of retribution. Now, imagine this scene where Normal Weight Person C is crying at the thought of having to finish pails and pails of food as punishment while Skinny Person B who dies of hunger looks on with jealousy. The irony of it all.

i always try to finish my food, not because of the african starving kids. Its because its said that if i don't finish my food, i will get a mo peng (means face alot pimples, acnes etc or alot holes like Li Guohuang of Chn 8) husband in future. Haha, so in case of that happening, i better finish my food as clean as possible most of the time.
