"it is like the gap between being hungry and deprived and because of that, wanting to consume more. although you may realize that is not very good for you, at the same time, there is the tendency to collect more, to further enrich situations. so there is always a gap: uncertainty as to whether you could achieve what you want or not. there is always that kind of paranoia or fear. so it seems that in the hungry ghost realm, fear is one of the most outstanding situations you could relate with. that fear could be the way of stepping out of it.
