Can you discern through the gate whether the dog is a beggar or just a truly hungry animal? Hunger is a boldness that doesn’t whine. It takes what it needs in order to feed itself. Hunger is determination. Those that have true hunger don’t waste time and energy on making useless noises, they simply act.

Beggars pause. A beggar makes his presence known to all; the truly hungry stalk their prey carefully, methodically, and with an ultimate goal. It is the beggar that waits for a bone, the hungry find one and then devours it.

True hunger is honest, unabated, unswerving and yet unpredictable.

Which is more dangerous?
