Basie:Jim, didn't I teach you anything?
Jim: Yes! You taught me that people will do anything for a potato. (excerpts from the movie "Empire of the Sun)

Potatoes.Yes, potatoes..where fries are from i had eaten hour ago at the Jollibee.. Yet this stuff could speak to me on a much different, deeper level--a level for a ravenous survivor.

trampled potatoes which seem cant be eaten anymore could play a great role for everyone's survival...On spur-of-the-moment situation, you may not notice the worms and dirts on the potatoes you are eating just to grasp in the straw of survival.

Surviving life could be the greatest test of everyone... And you can helplessly ask yourself " What will i do?" when all of your comforts are taken away. it is a picture of life where no one, nothing to lean on...!--break--

It can wreck your thinking indeed... but if with great appreciation what life is and where is for, here, a survivor now lies in your being. A survivor with a great spirit, wit and respect to all people as what Jimmy Graham have.

(p.s.: potatoes could be in much gratitude if you save them from worms and dirts. Make them feel they survive too from shits!)
