There is a great famine on the planet, unrecognized. People wander around desperately looking for crumbs. They are driven by their built in mechanism of physical self preservation, but they don’t find any food, only sawdust and contaminated water. Is this an apologue? It was meant to be.

Yes it is, but I don't know if it is physical famine or emotional famine. Physical famine is 95% caused by one group of people intentionally harming another so I don't think it is invisible. I can relate to the emotional famine being invisible. What is the solution for feeding the emotional needs of the invisible masses who are starving for it?

| I've stopped looking for the crumbs after I read Jesus's prediction that love would grow cold. |
