Inner voice
A hunger strike also means that you hope that the passing of time increases the pressure and that the evildoers will repent and make amends. This is a non-violent form of protest that does not threaten the person against whom it is directed in any way, except that it appeals to his conscience. And therein lies the great danger of hunger strikes - that you may be trying to influence the conscience where there is no conscience and compassion... And it could easily turn out that those merciless people who are now laughing, singing and coming up with political tricks carry some hellish emptiness and hunger, so deep and all-encompassing that nothing, no amount of greed, tyranny, power, wealth, fame, will ever satiate.
