Some thoughts on fasting

(1/10) > >>

Lincoln:
This is my first time fasting for the month of Ramadan and I thought it would be appropriate to share my thoughts with ToT posters.

Well, last year I was unable to fast. I was not well disciplined enough. However, this year I'm finding it quite easy. And I have learned a lot. Fasting is helping me to understand how a person who is poor or a person in a third world country feels. Also, during fasting I have not been involved in any fight, physical or verbal. As you may be able to tell, I love debating and discussing politics. However, taking a break from it has helped me to be less tense and frustrated all the time. Therefore fasting has also been good for my health. As well, fasting has made me more appreciative of eating and drinking. Everything tastes much better, and I have been eating healthier so as to avoid problems of greasy food on an empty stomach. As well, I feel as if I have developed a closer relationship with God, and that He is helping me to last through the days of the fast.

Overall, I have found fasting to be an excellent experience, and I recommend it to anyand everyone. Fast for a couple days, maybe 2 or 3. Perhaps you will find it as valuable as I have.

I don't eat or drink anything from the time the sun rises until the sun sets completely. So around 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
