In Moderation

3 Ramadhan 1434

21.00
I'm about to eat some chicken and salad and reflecting on how wonderfully liberating it is to be able to eat and drink plentifully in the evening after a day of deprivation. The process of fasting makes you understand how extraordinarily fulfilling simple things are.

And just in case you think Noi and I spend the evenings gorging ourselves, it's interesting to note that nothing could be further from the truth. You can only eat in reasonable moderation, otherwise you're going to make yourself feel extremely uncomfortable. So the liberation comes from being able to do something if you wish to, not necessarily doing too much of it.
