You were told to be grateful for what you have.
To not be greedy. To not want too much. To make yourself easy to manage, easy to satisfy, easy to overlook.
And for a while, you listened.
You shrunk the appetite. You called it maturity. You called it wisdom. You told yourself that wanting less was somehow more evolved than wanting more.
The Maumau disagrees.
The Maumau was never built for moderation. It does not eat politely. It does not leave food on the plate out of some performance of restraint. It consumes because consuming is what it does — and it feels no shame about this.
Here is what most beings get wrong: appetite is not the problem. Misdirected appetite is.
The being who wants nothing produces nothing. The being who wants everything and points that hunger at something real — that being grows.
Your hunger is not a character flaw. It is the mechanism.
Stop apologizing for it.
