> you can't fool yourselves into thinking you aren't hungry
Interesting take. Friends of mine who grew up in poverty would tend to disagree - from what I’ve heard it becomes very natural to ignore hunger to the point of it going away entirely. This is more or less the only way to have a semi-pleasant life, given you won’t be at a healthy nutrition level regardless.
Yes absolutely. But this is subjective as well is part of my premise. Like some people may be genetically predisposed to not saying no to food etc... in my experience the desire to get revenge is hard to overcome for a fairly large part of the population. So teaching forgiveness is equivalent of asking people to diet or exercise... it's really difficult.
Long time ago I went by without eating a few days, your body stops nagging you for food so much, peak hunger is about 24 hours later and then slowly but steadily you feel it less strongly, it never truly goes away, just less powerful.
For some friends, this was more like 10+ years in the core development phase of early childhood. I think the two experiences are more or less incomparable.
