This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security. Albert Einstein Flesh eating is unprovoked murder. When a human being kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice.
Man prays for mercy, but is unwilling to extend it to others.
It is unfair to expect something that you are not willing to give. Isaac B. Singer A dead cow or sheep lying in the pasture is recognized as carrion. The same sort of carcass dressed and hung up in a butchers stall passes as food. J. H. Kellogg It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion towards our fellow creatures. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
