So we walk around love-empty and that emptiness often feels like hunger. If you will take just one moment to be honest with yourself, you will see that this is true. Everybody wants to be loved and most of us don't have enough. Or at least that s the way we feel. Instead of learning to admit this reality we hide from it and find temporary substitutes.
Food is our favorite substitute for love.
Back to Hafiz. He offers us a brilliant solution to our problem of love deprivation. Instead of walking around empty and in pain and full of loveless self-pity, Hafiz suggests that we give the very thing we want to get. Why not become the one who lives with the full moon in each eye that is always saying with that sweet moon language what every other eye in this world is dying to hear. Then, once we give what we want to receive, we will be filled to the brim with more love than we could ever imagine.
