Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat. — Socrates

Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat.

Author: Socrates

Insight: Most of us have it backwards—we plan our day around meals instead of treating food as fuel. When eating becomes your hobby instead of your necessity, you've accidentally let your stomach run your life. The real freedom isn't fancy restaurants; it's not thinking about your next meal.
