Hi Geoff (Tree); I completely see what you mean, that we complement each other, that we depend on each other's energy, but I just feel not worth enough of someone dying because of me. I feel great as vegetarian. And, the best of all acording to PETA i save 83(at least) animal lives per year. Isnt that great knowing that If you buy less meat, or not buy it at all-you slowly make meat industry colapse...but that will happen, I hope so in my lifetime. In India for example there are many cities that are completely vegetarian. Animals are not being treated well, and being fed with unhealthy food, even chickens are being fed with animal bone components(that is not natural), at all because chickens are vegetarians-I mean vegans. So, entire meat industry is one very unhealthy legal inquisition, and in the future people would be ashamed of having carnivores ancestors. It would be for them like neanderthals for us...for I more and more see it in people. We have it both-animal and God in us.
I might be a bit disapointed in entire "civilisation" Matrix, but we have a lot of Seva(Service) to do. Yes, I know that plants feel, for I grow some plants in my apartment, but they do not have eyes.
Also, you could spend some time at PETA's website, and find out how animals are being treated in meat industry. Then, you might see how Western medicine is actually suporting that idea...because the more people are sick-they'll exist "Control"...i mean"Chaos". The same as in Church...If Satan converts, there will no be a purpose for Church's existance..so instead accents on Love and Life there is an input of Satan's omnipresence.
I wish for an animal liberation, and that animals and people could live together...I wish that sooooo much, all my life, and till the rest of my life.
Lena
