Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit.

About This Quote

The above quote from Robert Burns, a famous Scottish poet and songwriter, is a great example of how to deal with hunger. Sometimes people can’t eat because they don’t have enough money or access to food. In other cases, they do have the food but simply can’t eat because they are too tired. In these situations, the best thing to do is to count your blessings and be thankful that you have a place that will feed you.

However, there are some people who, even though they have all the food in the world, won’t eat because they are worried about being judged for their eating habits. They believe that gluttons will not find them friendly and so choose not to eat for fear of being rejected by their families and friends. The idea of being thankful is simple: it means you acknowledge blessings without holding them up as an ideal.

It means that you accept your situation while seeking to improve it.
