I´m not sure I understand the whole ´fasting´ part of Ramazan really.

(Please Alameda, Canlý and QueenT etc. - no long posts explaining the true meaning of Ramadan/Ramazan to me - I am not disrespecting Muslims, Islam or Ramazan - just voicing my opinion) 
Ãm not sure if you are asking about it, or just expressing /voicing your opinion ´which you said you dont understand the whole ´fasting´ part of Ramazan ´
Fasting is about controlling yourself..the ability of controlling yourself not just about fast over food
But you fast over everything, bad habits, desires, food, water...etc
And try to spend your time for the aim of worshipping ALLAH, not just praying and reading Quran, but worshipping ALLAH at any other form too
To think how to make another family happy, how to help the poor to enjoy Ãftar time as same as you enjoy it, how to try to make no one need anything at that month if we can
That with the hope that spirit will continue through the whole year not only in Ramadan.
How would we control ourselves, our temper and remember that we are fasting even at the crowded traffic when someone may be a cause of an expected accident, how would we control our temper and instead of shout and fight just blame and sort it out and say ´ALLAHUMA Ãnni Sayim´ means ´ ALLAH be witness that im fasting so im controlling myself´
Ãts more than just food issue, and you start Ramadan with the intention of this, and you feel your body more healther after Ramadan, as if you were washing your own blood cells from inside.
And when Ãftar comes and you start eat, as deli said, it feels like Heaven, you would appreciate what you already have every day, and you would understand what others feel when they cant have them at other days
When you feel hungry during the day, you remember, and telling yourself, now you feel how poor would feel when he´s hungry? People at Somalia....etc
And you would discover another abilities in yourself, that you can survive with less than you thought you would.
Anyway, its joy and only Muslims would understand it.
Ãts hot in our countries, and we fast, dont eat and dont drink, and we wait for Ramadan from year to year eager for it to come, sad when its finished.
We love Ramadan, and we celebrate it as much as we can.
