You know what I mean..Its all right to take the lives of chickens, cows, pigs, lambs, turkeys etc..But it is considered INHUMAN to kill a DOMESTICATED ANIMAL?
Is it because we have EMOTIONAL connections with our pets that is NOT RIGHT? But its considered as OK if we dont have emotional connection with the animal? I mean if you had a BELOVED chicken or cow... you wouldnt really want to eat it... right?
Is this the same case for HUMANS? We dont really CARE if someone else is SUFFERING as long as we dont have emotional connection with them? But if its a LOVED one we'd do ANYTHING to make them feel better. Is this somehow connected with our ANIMAL INSTICT and SURVIVAL INSTICTS?
So therefore we CANNOT really achieve peace because deep down inside everyone of us is BORN selfish with their own hidden adgendas that probably contradicts someone elses hidden adgendas in life. Thus conflict.
I hope you understand what I mean..thank you for your time.
Have a good day! And comment.
