An Experience in Life

My Experience.

Many years ago, I used to indulge myself into delicious food in many nice restaurants, food stalls and shops. I craved for the taste that I favor. There were times when I complained and gave up the food that was served before me because the food did not please my taste bud well enough.

As such, I created a lot of wastages and inconvenience to the chefs. The fact is, I have ignored the real purpose of eating that is to maintain the well being of my physical body because my mind is “submerged” by my strong craving of sensual pleasure in color, odor, taste and touch from my eye, nose, tongue and mouth.

I was not happy with the food because my emotion was "agitated" by the "lousy" food. As a result, I lost the ability to differentiate the real purpose of my action (eating)

This is a typical example in our life where an Unwise Decision (waste of food) is carried out because our clear mind is "blended" with a series of restless sensual feelings derived from our senses.
