day no. 14,915: appetites and appeasals

Ecclesiastes 6:7
All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.

Winston Churchill once defined an appeaser as...

"one who throws others to the alligator, hoping to be the last one eaten."

You can appease an alligator by ministering to his hunger, but that only works for a moment. Hunger has a funny way of coming back and yesterday's bread will not cover today's pangs. Fresh bread will be required. And if your strategy is simply to feed others to the alligator to keep him at bay, eventually you will be on the menu.

Proverbs 16:26
A worker’s appetite works for him; his mouth urges him on.
