5 Minutes Freewriting #2 - Hunger

in #freewrite5 years ago

The word "hunger" is one of my favorite words in the dictionary. It can describe the need to eat in order to survive, or to simply fill your stomach, or the need to fulfill something, like a strong desire that you have.

Hunger is what gets you up in the morning and motivates you to work on that dream job you always wanted to have.

Hunger is what motivates you to learn that particularly difficult skill that will eventually get you so much money you'll be able to buy whatever you want.

Hunger is what makes you read books every time you have some free time, to get smarter and smarter and to increase your knowledge.

The hunger for a dream job, for money or for information, are just a few example of what "hunger" can motivate you to do.

But as with everything in life, hunger can be used for evil things.

Hunger and hate is what can make you wanna hurt other people, to feel good about making others unable to resist to anything you do to them.

Hunger and rebellion is what makes you go against the system and break any rule, no matter the consequences and the collateral damage. The hunger for freedom or for something the system will never offer you can fuel that rebellion inside your heart.

The hunger for pleasure can make people force others into submission, into doing whatever the hell the dominator wants, with one purpose in mind - pleasure.

Hunger is one of those words that can be used for good, or for bad, that can fuel admirable actions, or horrible ones, that can lead to the progress of civilization, or to its total annihilation.

Hunger for power, hunger for pleasure, hunger for glory or hunger for material things. All these types of hunger are within us and there's nothing we can do about it.

No matter who you are, and how you perceive life and what's around you, always learn how to control your hunger. If used well, it could help you control the world, everything and anything, and to get whatever you need no matter the odds. If used the wrong way, it can drive you to hurt others and to destroy everything around you, sometimes out of pure pleasure and hatred.

Remember the word, and do what's necessary to control it - hunger.
