I always thought and still think that being a vegetarian is cool and healthy. Recently I’ve learned that there are certain people who adopt beliefs without any real purpose. I have friends who are so called ‘hippies’, vegans, free thinkers… the list goes on an on. Frankly I see it as an excuse and not a proper conviction.
I say that because one would think, for a person to adopt a new belief, one should have learned, understand and be able to explain their new lifestyles in a manner that is both comprehensible and thorough. Not so to convince and attract others with their beliefs but merely to justify that their actions are well thought of and their reasoning is with a cause.
Jumping to, If you choose to be a free thinker just to do things without any restrictions or limitation then it is not a belief but a form of escapism.
This growing trend though with all its good principles, intentions and advantages has been misconstrued in the minds of fashion victims, trend followers. It gives them a reason to separate themselves from others and look at their own ignorant self as a higher being in society and maybe arrogant enough in thinking that they are unique enough to judge people and elevate themselves.
A little off topic but I feel like saying this, I have said this before and I am going to say it again, judging a situation is different from judging a person.
To all the ‘hippies’ and society outcast wannabe…Just because you separate yourself from the society and dwell within yourself –listening to a certain kind of music, doesn’t makes you ‘artistic’, unique or any special—and obviously, not good enough to feel proud of.
A little more clarification, I have nothing against vegetarians. I know that it requires discipline and is healthy and by consuming non-veg food, gives the person greater self control.
Having said that, according to some people or beliefs, eating meat is prohibited and evil. Some even go as far as saying that all man shouldn’t consume or kill animals for food. Yes, as you might’ve expected I am going to say that if people stopped eating meat, the animals would grow out of proportion and things will eventually get out of control. Not forgetting, that their reproductive rate is rapid.
Now towards a more logical point of view, Animals such as cows, goats and cattle are herbivore animals hence their digestive system can only accept vegetarian food. On the other hand, animals like the lion, tiger and other carnivores, and because of their digestive system can only consume non-vegetarian food/ meat.
Whereas, I am sure people have noticed that animals that can only consume vegetarian food, have a set of flat teeth. Meanwhile the carnivores have sharp pointy teeth that enable them to chew on meat and bones.
Here’s my point, man if God had intended them to eat only vegetarian food then he would have given them flat teeth. Or if he wanted us to eat only meat He’d have given us a set of sharp teeth. As we all know all man has sharp teeth and flat teeth that enables them to consume both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Hence their digestive system is able to ingest both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.
Besides there are certain places where vegetation isn’t available, for example in the desert or places covered with ice.
That’s as much as I can muster up for now, till later. Peace.
