CHILDHOOD HABIT


~CHILDHOOD HABIT~


We may wonder why people
kill others without any remorse.
Psychologists could come out
with many answers blaming
all kind of factors that could
have affected those killers.

Nature knows no morality
and a hunter shows no mercy
to the pray where the pray
is the food for the hunter.

Even kind hearted humans
meaning no harm to any
living thing also eat
other living things where
dead creatures are served
in tins as cooked food
from beginning of childhood.

By the time they know what
they have been eating its
too late to change for most
human beings due to habit
formed since childhood.

My friend's granddaughter
in Pennsylvania was playing
with a calf and the farmer said
"The calf slaughtered for you
is the brother of this calf,"
and she could not eat that meat
knowing a beautiful playful
the calf was killed for her food.
She never ate any meat again.

I truly believe that most of the
kind-hearted, animal-loving people
would do the same if they are
made aware of what they are
eating from childhood.

NOTE:
I am a vegetarian because my parents were vagerarian. It is easy for me because of that. My Saxophone student Howard turned a vegetarian and it was extremely hard for him living with his meat-eating parents. I have great respect for those who overcomes social pressure and turn vegetarian because it is extremely difficult to fight their childhood habit and live with meateating family.
Love and peace.
