THREE IMPORTANT HUMAN APPETITE......



Hey Fam.... Hope this short piece met you all well. So today something happened at a place I visited that got me thinking on the issue of APPETITE. The appetite I will be discussing here is not just about the obvious one we know (Food)..... The three kind of appetite here are the ones that has a relationship or that correlates with every human behaviour. They rule and control the world today.

Okay!!! we all have needs as humans right? insatiable needs for that matter however, the beauty of it all is that we can't get enough of one or more of them. Generally, appetite is a desire to want to satisfy any bodily craving or need. It can be in the form of food, shelter, clothes, money, sex, education, power, leadership ....... the list is endless. 

The three main human appetite I will be talking about here are:

  1. Food:- You see people there is something about food that one can't really explain. God put hunger in man for a reason. satisfying our stomach is probably one thing everyone would have to do for the rest of our lives (whether you like food or not) we all just have to eat right? One thing about having appetite for food is that "the more you eat, the more you want to eat"...... (this is dependent on the kind of food you love to eat) That's why we have favorites. FOOD FACT: Is that the more you have the less you want; the less you have the more you want it (addiction come to play here) . Take it or leave it we can't survive without food for long.
  2. Sex:- This appetite varies from person to person. Some like it while others don't meaning we humans can actually survive without sex. (so if you have a sexless life like me now.... you no go die) hmmm you heard right lol. SEX FACT: The less you have sex, the less motivated you are to have sex. while the more you have sex, the more you likely would want to have more....... (This is also where addiction comes in).
  3. Money:- The more money you have the more you want it. the less you have, the more you want it. For me, our appetite for money is over the moon compared to the two above. God actually put this appetite in us to be a blessing but, most of us that do have money have abused this privilege God gave us due to greed. If you look closely, this is the only category where you want more regardless of whether you have it or not. This is where our appetite is insatiable, uncontrollable and always growing bigger and bigger. ( the addiction and abuse of money is rated 7***)
Everyone of us have all of these appetites it doesn't matter whether you fall into the MORE category or LESS category. What is important is usage and control, setting boundaries and taking a stand. This post is not for everyone but for the few who get the message, the fact that you are hungry and your appetite for food is huge does not in anyway mean you will eat shit just because you are hungry. 

Take charge of your appetite before it destroys you. our faces mirrors our soul so if we all take responsibility for how we work with our appetite, taking charge of it and not letting it control our behaviour THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE.....some of us have allowed our appetite for whatever turn us into what we are not:  selfish, arrogant, wicked, heartless.....  Let things go round!!! it's not all about you. remember the weak in your midst.  Watch your appetite.... watch your behaviour ......... AM OUT!!!
