The Buddha said, 'Nothing can survive without food.' This is a very simple and very deep truth. Love and hate are both living phenomena. If we do not nourish our love, it will die and may turn into hate. If we want love to last, we have to nurture it and give it food every day. Hate is the same if we don't feed it, it cannot survive.

If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.
