Hungry Ghost 

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

Hungry Ghost Month 

The seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, when the “Gates of Hell” are open to allow spirits of the dead—those troubled spiritual vagabonds that failed to be reincarnated as another living being—to rejoin the land of the living for a month.
Hungry Ghost Month or Seventh Month believers would faithfully or fearfully offer burnt paper gifts in the form of fake money, branded goods, and electronic devices, or items believed to be desired by the deceased in the afterlife, to the evil spirits roaming their surroundings.
