Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking care of our basic needs and physical well-being. It suggests that if someone neglects their own hunger and satisfies their appetite, they are unlikely to pay attention or prioritize other aspects of their life. By highlighting the belly as a metaphor for our fundamental needs, such as food and comfort, the quote implies that tending to these needs is a prerequisite for effectively focusing on and attending to other matters.
