Most of the religious teachings or beliefs have the concept of fasting. I don't understand this temporary restriction or habit of doing something on some specific days.
Why do we all do this? Why did our ancestors advise us to do so?
Why do our religions expect us to do to be religious? If religion is something extravagant, why can not it accept how we are?
Or, is it some sort of false belief that our religious leaders or ancestors forced on us?
Or, is it because we all think we get what we need from God if we are religious?
When I reached this point, I think we expect something from God by being religious rather than understanding the true meaning of love.
