My friend asked me last week: “Why are you a vegetarian? Religious reasons or personal belief?”
I was stumped for a second and then say, “We’re all born veggies, blindly told to believe that we aren’t supposed to eat non-veg, it’s only later, that we make the decision to voluntarily withdraw from eating N.V. So it’s personal now and religious then.”
Profound idiocy?
Faith can be a farce, at times. False. The way of life, am supposed to be following, gives profound reasons as to how by eating meat, one becomes cruel, one becomes unholy, non-compassionate, and the league. Crap.
Early Aryans being the hypocrites here; them, who advocated animal sacrifice, suddenly preach vegetarianism. And the later ones, us, who follow it mostly blindly.
Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukural too, has a stack of inane profundities related to anti-animal killing/eating. Except a predecessor to Microeconomics [or is it “Imperfect Competition”?], in this Kural:
“If the world did not purchase and consume meat, there would be none to slaughter and offer meat for sale.”
Isn’t it too much, for an idealistic situation?

Well, post was a “divert my mind” one, and hence the disjointedness.
