I came across a really very eye opening article in readers digest a few days back. ( yes lady of leisure reads that and national geographic throughout the day).
I or rather many of us thought a hungry person is that someone who is grubby, need and helplessness reflecting in his eyes, shabby clothes etc. but is hunger really that? Yes it is in my country. Whose poverty the developed countries have made famous in their documentaries and books. Yes At our place it is obvious. But perceptions can be misleading. Of what we think is needy and what is really needy.
Apparently in this article a lady quoted her heartfelt opinions on hunger. In developed countries, hunger takes different guises. Car every one has. Wearable clothes every one has. But do they have food? But do they have really enough to feed them selves? The lady in article spoke of her embarrassment of visiting a food bank. Of her desperation of her children growing up so soon. It's a,amazing how introspective can children be.
Yes hunger is there, in some cases its naked and known in some places its "cache ". What pick we will take? This story surely set my thinking wheels in action.
