For a few years I used to fast completely (no food for 24 hours) on Fridays during Lent. It taught me two contradictory lessons:
1) It’s not as hard as you’d think. Even something as basic as food, you can do without completely for a while.
2) But only for a while. To fast for 2 or 3 days would be extremely difficult, and 2 or 3 weeks could kill me. That’s the margin of error our whole existence depends on.
