Escape Being Eaten

How can they say my life is not a success? Have I not for more than sixty years got enough to eat and escaped being eaten?  ~Logan P. Smith 

It would be a bad day if you were eaten. There are a lot of things out that could eat you. The nice thing is that most of them will not eat you till you are already dead or you are walking in the woods and injured. Most things are afraid of man and do not consider us a source of food. At least that is something you can be grateful for.

As for finding enough to eat to keep yourself alive. That is not too hard either. There is plenty of food out there for you to eat.Most people just buy what they need to eat. If you care unlucky enough not to have a job, then you might find yourself asking other people for food. If you can't make that happen, then you will have to lower yourself to finding food on your own.

You can eat the weeds. The only problem with that is you must know which weeds to eat so you don't get sick and die. The other thing you can do is dig around in other people's or businesses trash and eat what has been discarded. That is kind of gross and there is a possibility the food is not safe to eat. The only other thing you can do is steal what you need to eat. Then you will be caught by the police and they will put you in jail where you will get three meals per day. Either way, you will survive.

What I like about this quote is it suggests that you should be content with what you have in life. Be grateful that you are alive and that you have food to keep you alive. Be grateful that you have lived as long as you have and know you will probably live longer than most people throughout history.
