I only read what was posted. I didn't read anything else on facebook though so there's obviously more to it than what bizi posted.

I may be wrong but I just took it to mean something similar to saying life is short, make the most of it. Smell the roses. Live each day to the fullest. I didn't read it about being poor or hungry or about squalor. I read most of it as being metaphorical.



for you Mari.
