As with stomachs, we should pity minds that do not eat.

Summary

This quote suggests that just as our bodily health relies on nourishment, our mental well-being depends on intellectual stimulation. It implies that minds that are not engaged in learning and acquiring knowledge should be sympathized with, as they may not be able to experience the richness and growth that comes with feeding the mind. Like our physical appetite, our intellectual appetite should be nurtured and satisfied to cultivate a flourishing and fulfilled life.
