"Les personnes qui ressentent le plus de passion pour une question ne sont presque jamais celles qui sont sous-alimentées"
— Aldous Huxley
Simplified Meaning:
When people are extremely enthusiastic or deeply concerned about a certain topic, they tend to be those who have enough food and basic needs met. Think of it this way: A person who doesn't have to worry about their next meal has more energy and time to focus on other issues, like environmental causes or social justice. For example, someone who is very active in a wildlife conservation group is not likely to be someone struggling to find food daily. They may have the luxury to think beyond immediate survival. However, someone who is hungry is more focused on just getting through the day and finding something to eat. So, when you're looking at who is really vocal about certain issues, it's often those who don't have to struggle with basic needs each day. This suggests that meeting everyone's fundamental needs can open up more opportunities for them to engage with broader issues.
