Little help here?

Hey there all you sports fans! Are you in for a surprise today! I'd like to have an argument about fasting. Cleansing aside, I don't want to hear about the pros of fasting concerning cleansing the system. I want to get to the base of my concern: Negativity doesn't create Positivity.
I was talking with a friend of mine who was taking part in fasting today. He told me that he wasn't even drinking water! He said he really wanted his other friend to be accepted into some thing or other... so he decided to REALLY fast today in order to "make it happen over there".

I strongly believe though, that only Energy can create Energy. I don't feel that depriving yourself of energy will, in turn, let more energy flow to someone or something else. Who would control that? If God is deciding that since you deprived yourself of energy, then and only then will he make the good thing happen to the other person or other thing.

Why would God want you to be so bad to yourself? I believe that He/She only wants what's best for everyone. You can't focus positivity elsewhere by depriving yourself of that very thing.

I would surround yourself with goodness. Give to others, be positive, be as much as you can for everyone you come to see. Do things for others out of the ordinary, UNdeprive someone else of some food. We all know how many street folk there are... give them a muffin, an apple, give something.

Imagine God looking at the two situations, one man depriving himself of all food and water for a day; and the other: giving food and water to those who need it... (yet still drinking and eating for themselves). Wouldn't he favour the latter? No, I'm not saying that God has favourites... it's just figurative. He's not up there thinking, "Hmm... not enough fasting; that person'll get smited tomorrow," right? Why would he promote hurting your body?

That's all for now. Any comments?
