Gulp it even if you can't chew!

I stayed in a hotel on Delhi stay. I went to breakfast at 10 am. Because the breakfast time is only up to ten and a half o'clock, the hotel owners told that whatever they want, take it till 10 o'clock. The buffet will be closed after this. What and how much can a man eat for breakfast? But because the breakfast was ordered, I noticed people quickly get up from their chair and someone is bringing the whole plate of fruit, someone is ordering four chickpea bhature. Someone picked up idli, dosa and a man picked up two or three glasses of juice. Someone stuffed a lot of toast plates with honey, butter and mustard sauce. I kept sitting in my place and watching it all. A couple of mothers were poking food in their children's mouths. They were saying eat fast, now this restaurant will be closed. Breakfast is usually free for those who stay at hotels. Means hotel rental includes breakfast. I've seen a lot of people so many times that they try to arrive for late breakfast in the morning and eat a little more so that lunch can go through. Many people eat too much because they think it's free, so there's no bad in taking too much. Many people know that they can't eat so much, but they collect them just so that they don't fall short. Actually every person recognizes his diet. He knows he can eat that much. But he gets trapped in greed and collects more than necessary. I kept watching everything from my chair quietly. It was ten and a half o'clock. The restaurant was closed. People were sitting down. They had stored so many things on the table. But now they weren't eating. How can someone drink two or three glasses of juice? Lots of toast. Many children were quarreling with their mothers that they don't eat anymore. Mothers were also tired of eating and feeding. And finally one by one everyone went out slowly leaving breakfast stored on the table. Meaning so much juice, fruit, bread all went to waste. "This is the life" We are all engaged in more gathering than our appetite. We all know we won't be able to use it. We know our kids won't suffer either. But we gather more than needed at our own table. When we gather we are not so ignorant that we don't know we won't be able to eat them completely. We know we'll leave these and walk out of restaurants, leaving everything on the table. Collect as much as you really need. This world is a restaurant. No one can sit in this restaurant forever. No one can eat in this restaurant constantly. Everyone has a limit to food. Everyone's stay in restaurants is also fixed. Take as much as you enjoy. Gather as much as you can fulfill your needs. Everything else is left here. Whether it's breakfast or something. Many of us see a lot of people leaving a lot of things on the table from restaurants around the world. But still don't understand how much we need. We know we will leave all, but in the process of collecting, we also stop tasting what is there.
