The art of survival is learning to get a lot of pleasure from a little.
What if in this life, we only fight with ourselves? All the problems in life are precisely because we fail to control ourselves? So, in life is complete control of oneself until death? Well, I sipped my clear soup from the KFC closest to my position.
I like to start my blogs with questions. A kind of door that leads us to more new conversations. Although, actually I don't really like chatting. The good news is, I like new things. So, I can talk about new things with you and think of it as not just chatting, but a feeling of enthusiasm to learn new things. Is not it?
Back to the topic, I stopped at KFC on my way to the hotel in a city where I was traveling with my husband. My appetite decreased drastically. I'm just tired, I think. I admit, as an introvert, I run out of energy traveling 🤣 well, I just need to sleep under the blanket until I'm satisfied and bored!
I was confused when deciding what we should eat for lunch which was almost late. I wanted something very light at the time. Maybe KFC soup is the best choice. Also, because I haven't eaten food from this big chain for a long time.
We will always be faced with a great desire to want foods that look delicious. Full of flavors that even feel complicated because they have been overcooked. But social media trends also influence us to crave unhealthy things!
I'm grateful I can start to control myself. The hardest thing is fighting myself. So, getting used to eating whatever you can eat is a simple way of being grateful.
I enjoyed this clear soup. Just simple like you guys. Contains vegetables such as carrots and corn. Also, meatballs to create a savory taste. My body feels energetic again.
Next, I also enjoy fried fish. Although it's not that good in my opinion. I just like the light soup.
That's how funny life is sometimes. We actually enjoy a lot of satisfaction from simple things. But enjoying things like that cannot just be present within each of us. It takes self-control, mindfulness, and also sincerity to enjoy less taste when we can get more taste. That's how life will feel peaceful, with what we can have, not with what we want but who knows when we can achieve it.
Looking again within ourselves, what do we really need? Just a feeling of fullness, or selfishness to continue to satisfy the never-ending desires of the mind?
