Go Vegetarian

No, I'm not going to preach like hygiene freaks calculating your day to day calories' consumption and gain. I would rather like to take you on a less traveled path, a new terrain, which always tangentially touches you, but never penetrates within.

Man (and woman) is a social animal.
Man (and woman) is an animal.

Understand the difference between the two.
We are social. We are intelligent. We are sensitive.(!!!!!!!!)

Satisfaction cannot come out of agony. Joy cannot come out of pain. Food is meant to keep us alive. Food is our life, and life cannot come out of death.

How can we be so selfish to kill others and eat? How can you feel your stomach full when you've slaughtered someone for it? Why do we have slaughterhouses? The sympathy towards animals is missing. The respect towards the forms of life is missing. The realization of existence of life has become foggy.

Just close your eyes and imagine. A chicken being slaughtered by a butcher, imagine the pain, your hunger is so superior that a whole life has to be brought to an end to satisfy it even when vegetation is there? How can you be so cruel? Just sit and see the beauty of a dancing hen at the dawn. It is breathing. It is alive. It is beautiful. All forms of life are beautiful, because they are alive. You possess no right to kill them.

Practise this finest form of nonviolence and feel it. For that sake, even buying leather accessories is violence. Just for you to look trendy, you will go to the extent of killing some animal???

There was an email addressed to all the fellow students of IIT Madras by some student only. He had described the animals being slaughtered, the description could make any sensitive human being burst into tears. There was a confusion about leather shoes being mandatory for placement procedure, he had denied to follow the so called rule. (Thought of Mangal Pandey???)

People may abuse me in more ways than one, but I stand for my opinion, and this is what I had to convey. I hope my nonvegetarian friends will take this blog in right spirit and become vegetarian. Vegetarianism is above all the religions. It is a religion itself. It is nonviolence. It is an essential aspect of one's proud existence.
