CALL AIM 877-205-2968 Appetites: growth or groans? ■bster defines appetite we soon become a liability, occupation or vocation. An ity. The limitless food b Webster defines appetite as ’’the desire or craving to satisfy any bodily need”. Extended attachments obviously include the mind and spirit, for we are one ’’very sophisticated capsula tion”. One of renown has stated that a large part of our troubles stem from the senseless urge to stretch the envelope of embryonics beyond comprehension. The pondering of such probabil ity reveals the credibility of this observation—for the vanities of an ever increasing indulgence only adds weight to our earthly course, both in pounds and problems. From what sector does this search for ’’more” emanate. Those embracing ’’intel ligent design” will quickly surmise that the original journey to meet basic needs, is necessary for survival. Be yond this is where we enter ’’fantasy land”—and where i liability, to ourselves first of all, and eventually to all civi lization. When the subject is first mentioned, our attention is fas tened on the physical dimension. If this were the sole consid eration, perhaps we could cope. But the ’’party” is far from over, for our thirst for ’’more” scans the horizons of mon ies, markets, and mountains. Our psyche—every mol ecule, if you will—demands an ’’increased portion”- The’G’ Factor Daniel W. Gatlyn occupation < intake of drugs (or medici nal products) will soothe the nerves and spasms, but the flesh will eventually demand an increased dosage, and lead to the addiction of an unthinkable scope. Appetites for power and prestige are never really satisfied. We want to travel farther and faster than all those before and our us- —geographically, biologi cally, and dictatorially! The initial motivation is virtuous, but an uncontrolled grasp of values event ally leads to addiction, and ’’overkill”. We want a larger house, a newer automobile, a higher paying quest for a ’’Charles Atlas” physique is evidenced by a million gyms across the continent. We want to jump higher, run faster, smash the scoreboard with an unprecedented number— and be academically acceler ated beyond practicality. A relentless race to acquire the ’’mega portions” of life ,will always culminate in calam ity. The limitless food bars, and the specimens they pro duce, are analogous to what one will become—physically, mentally, and psychologi cally. Statistics surrounding this subject are disconcerting, es pecially since the ’’epic por tion” was both produced and furnished by the Omnipotent One. What has happened is, the individual has become an undisciplined vessel, with a failure to harness and control the body and mind. We have both the power and prerogative to bring our faculties under subjection. The desire for growth is both healthy and heartening— while expansions in excess are labelled an abomination.
