My story with meat ends

If there is will there is way is proven. If we have something experienced it by ourselves, doing anything based on our own experience is not impossible. I was a total meat lover especially beef shakam (Jerky). I felt taking meat was not good considering the sin we commit in the process. I tried to give up meat thrice in the past with this noble religious view. My religious minded friends who could successfully give up meat, tried to help me change my mind by showing various inhuman slaughtering of animals for meat. Despite all those effort, I failed miserably each time when I see shakam, my weakness!!

Now after 4-5 years of continuous meat diet, here I am meat sober for past 5 months. Initially I thought I might fail like before and didn’t have guts to pen down my experience. The good thing  this time I don’t have craving  for meat. I don’t feel it missing in my diet. I no longer miss it.

This time my reason for quitting meat was nothing like before. In October 2016, I got my hand steam burned. Since then I have been reflecting on the pain I have gone through and every time I do, I realised what hypocrite we humans are. I don’t feel even guilty to talk for mass when it comes to meat eating. We human are most hypocrite living creature on the planet with the thinking/analyzing capability that differentiate us from rest of living beings. We can’t take pinch on our own body whereas we feel right to kill other animals for our consumption. Having said that, I have my full appreciation for people who are vegetarian and vegans. We human beings are superior living beings with intelligence and yet not reflecting on the pain we are causing others is no different from other animals. Ever since, I have been feeling guilty whenever I take bite on meat. I cannot bear a steam burn on part of my body whereas I am cooking another body to eat.

Gross as it sound, I started feeling guilty when preparing meat meals. May be it’s about time or may be I have strong experience to reflect on, this time I successfully turned green for good. What I mean to say by sharing my experience is you do not have to be religious to do religious thing. There can be practical reason and if one can analyse you can do what you want. Nothing is impossible if you have the willpower backed by reasons. Be reasonable!

After all the information I gathered about the mistreatment of animals, I couldn't continue to eat meat. The more I was aware of, the harder and harder it was to do.
