I'm sure we've all had our mornings where we've had to rush out the door, therefore skipping out on breakfast altogether or forcing us to visit a Starbucks on the way to school or work. Have you ever brought your breakfast to work or school, and on your way to warm it up and eat it, dropped it on the floor, therefore making you wait the four to five agonizing hours until lunch?
This actually just happened to me twenty minutes ago. While the food itself wasn't that appetizing anyways, I was hungry and hadn't eaten before I left the house. When you're really hungry, you'll eat almost anything, I've learned.
Which brings me to another point. How far would you go to get food in your belly?
I started thinking about it not long after I dropped my own food and realized I would probably go to some pretty great lengths, especially if I'm starving like some people in third-world countries. It also makes me think that sometimes, we take our food for granted. I know I did before I dropped it. Some people wouldn't even care and eat it anyways, if they're that hungry, but you really do have to consider what's been on that floor.
I probably shouldn't take anything I have for granted, least of all my food. I still think Thanksgiving is just an excuse to eat turkey (why would you be thankful for what you have and then have the Black Friday sale the day afterwards?), but the idea it's based on is no less real or silly than Christmas. I think we should all have a day (preferably not before a sale day) to be thankful for what we have. That's why I also prefer Canadian Thanksgiving. We don't have sales right afterward.
What you think about taking things for granted? Do you? If so, why? Comments welcome.
