It’s about what Ramadan mean to you…
In Ramadan, you wake up in the morning, no one else is awake and it’s really dark and you grab something to eat quickly and then you pray. Then you go out and throughout the whole day when you are walking past super markets, restaurants and canteens then you smell the food and you’re tummy starts gurgling.I don’t actually believe in fasting (religious people stop calling me Kafer because I’m not religious), I believe that god can see the sacrifice I’m making for Him, but I believe there are other ways to do that, However.. surprisingly I’m fasting this Ramadan, maybe because in Kuwait if they see me eating in the street, I get in jail for a month and pay 100 KD. and maybe because I need to lose few kilos and I’m considering it a forced-on diet, I heard it’s been scientifically proved that if you do this for 30 days out of a year it detoxes your body and It’s not that hard right now because the days are really short and as long as you fill yourself up in the morning you’ll be fine till about 6pm.
This year its fine, the problem is next year when Ramadan falls in middle of the summer. Fasting will be harder (although we are in September now which is HOT too) because it doesn’t get dark till 9pm and then it gets light again about 3am so that’s only five hours to eat in. Now it’s easy so I’m considering it a training.
Also refraining from swearing, and saying horrible things is good, living like what’s in a clean Rap CD isn’t that bad (most of Rap artists tend to swear, cuss and talk about sex so their CDs come tagged in Parental Advisory), you can’t drink, you can’t smoke, so it’s good for people who want to lose bad habits.
Ramadan for me means a month of patience, no partying, no drinking and losing weight. (how airhead-ish?)
Ramadan is a time of struggle, to change our behavior so as to abandon those bad and sinful actions that we are accustomed to doing and strive to perform more good actions on a regular basis.

Ok, am not gonna call you a kafer cuz am another human being & I can’t judge you… maybe am worse than you
Ramadan is one of Islam’s pillars & we have to believe in it without questioning, whether you wanna stick to it or not it’s your choice bas it’s here for a reason… as you said teach us to value blessings & try to moderate our behavior… it’s not a struggle at all once you get in the flow… you control yourself & needs.. that’s another lesson too
it’s not that hot! for some “weird” reason things got a bit cool now adays…

You forgot an important part of Ramadan, being nicer to people around you, classmates, work mates, neighbours, buss driver etc…
Plus helping the poor either by giving them food, shelter or money.
These things do make you feel a lot better
