I was just wondering one day while passing by a meat shop..( i have eaten meat..and consciously stopped now) that how strange a human being is..haven't we heard stories where we have saved a kitten, or a bird, nursed an ailing squirrel,dog. My son has a gold fish whom he cares more than himself..and cuddled a calf, fed him grass..etc..at the same time among us are people who go hunting and kill animals..either for food or pleasure..most of us eat meat..and are hard core non-vegetarians..isn't it strange ? It may have happened that the same person who hunts a deer, rabbit may nurture a calf, horse,a kitten or for that matter even a rabbit at home. Only that we look at them in a different way when we are dawning different roles..when our objective is to kill (hunt) we dont have any sympathy or feelings towards the animal..and when we are the nurturer, master we will do all that it takes to protect and rear the animal.
amazing human tendency to play roles to suit its emotional desires..
I guess that's how we deal with life and with humans as well..among us are people who kill/destroy humanity for some motive which they believe in and among us are saviours who help the needy,serve in a hospital,old age homes, orphanages..and help to save humanity.
We are indeed a superior race who can do a lot with the great range of emotional arsenal that we have, lest we forget that we all are mortals and will be here not for eternity..so what your purpose in life? i haven't yet figured out mine..:-(
