One of the best movie I've watched!

How to survive.

By stealing got it.

I’ve been hungry. I personally feel it’s a lesson that people would hopefully never have to learn. People who have been fortunate in life (even those who aren’t so blessed or rich and wouldn’t see themselves as having been fortunate) often cannot comprehend what it is really like to NEED or not have. Truly and chronically. They tend to be dismissive and not understand how a person could be in that position and not “yank themselves up...” If we are willing to take the word of those who know what pain feels like- we don’t have to learn ourselves. Just listen. Listen when they tell you their troubles and believe it is that bad and not just someone “looking for a handout.”

If you want to know why it’s like to go hungry take what you have and give it to someone who doesn’t have, then live off of nothing. It loses its romanticism quickly, especially when you can’t just call it off whenever you feel the experiment is over. But often it’s those who have suffered who try to use the type of logic in this meme. Suffering as a badge of honor. A bandaid for the ego- a great equalizer that whatever you’ve done, they’ve outdone you by virtue of their struggle.

It’s not a competition. We all have struggles. I’d hope we’d be more about trying to help each other with those, use society as a tool to get rid of those struggles. And for a person- especially one who knows what deep suffering is like to want another to experience that so that they can understand... I can’t support that. You don’t teach a cat not to scratch by scratching it.
