When you're starving, you know why you feel the compulsion to eat. I had some crazy veterinarian bills for my cat a couple of years ago and had to do some drastic budgeting to be able to have the funds needed for emergency vet visits while still having the bucks to pay the rent. Half a cup of rice per day for almost two full months made me totally understand real hunger and the desire to satisfy it; food became the only thing I thought about at all times of the day, in addition to my cat's welfare. That struggle emphasized the difference between a 'want' and a 'need.' Btw, my cat finally adapted to his insulin cycle and he lived on for another three years and three months before passing. My 5-Star is Clavell's Gai-Jin; the heartbreak associated with love, loss and the choices one has to live with is forever the key ingredient to a memorable character.
