A NEW WORLD

We are currently in the early stages of the largest collective awakening ever witnessed in history of Humankind. The dominance of powerful over powerless is leading to exploitation of weak. This is not something new, Exploitation of weak is in our history. But the growing extent of exploitation have never been seen before and this is the matter of great concern. Because We don't want this chaotic World where Right or Wrong does not matter. Where rich are worthy of respect and poor aren't. Where rumors spread faster than truth. Where justice is Subjective. Where people are killing each other on the name of saving religion. Where our taste buds are important than life of an animal. Where people are enjoying the suffering of innocent beings on the name of food, entertainment, culture and religion. 

We have damaged the natural world to the extent we can't even imagine. We have a complete Dominance on this planet but that dominance does not mean we have the freedom to exploit instead means we have the Responsibility to safeguard it from damage. 

I want a Peaceful World. I dream about a World where everyone is respected and protected irrespective of financial or social status, race, caste, gender or sexuality. I dream of a world where all animals are protected. Human brains are un-imaginable. We have achieved so much so far which we used to think was impossible. But human minds are amazing and this is our power to change this world.

Together we can Create the World we want to live in. The creation of the new World is not a sudden thing but a gradual process.  For that we have to be patient and not loose HOPE. 

For a new World, We have to recognize that the choices we make have far greater impact than we can Imagine. First, we have to start with ourselves by changing our habits which leads to any kind of exploitation. Second, By standing against people exploiting others in any way. No matter if something is changing or not OR how small our contribution is, we have to keep contributing to our Dream World. We have to be positive and optimistic. The bitter truth is these things will have short term or time bound impacts. For changing this chaotic world, we need to switch to practices with long term benefits.

COMPASSION is one of the way which can have greater impacts. Compassion is a very vast concept. With compassion everyone will be able to feel the miseries of others. By having compassionate heart we will be sympathetically conscious. With compassion we can end the guilt, pain or suffering. Everyone will respect each other irrespective of any differences. Compassion can solve the problems of today's world. It can end the dominance of powerful over powerless. It can bring the equality we are seeking since ages. Compassion is the seed which we have to sow today for a peaceful world tomorrow. We have to teach our children and future generation to be compassionate towards everything. If we end every kind of exploitation then the World will heal itself gradually. Our future generation would not have to live in this world. They will have a world we want.

At present the theory of a Peaceful World sounds too idealistic. For more  opportunities we should focus on possibilities. One day there will be a World we all want, we will create that world together. Remember, If you feel like you don't fit in this World it is because you are here to help create a New one. To achieve something we have to believe in it. So YES i believe in the possibility of a Peaceful World. DO YOU?   "Dream about the world you Want and contribute to the World you dream about."

LION vs HUMAN

HUMAN LOGIC - Lions are animals and humans are animals so If lion can eat meat so can i !!!  

Here comes the truth, lions eat meat because they're obligate carnivores meaning they have to eat meat to survive. But we don't have that excuse because we don't have to eat meat to survive. 

Moreover, why would we base our morality on the actions of Wild animals ! How can we compare Human morality with Wild animal morality ? 

Lions eat meat and they also kill each other but that doesn't mean we can also kill each other.

Imagine if a human murdered another human and in his defence he says, Lions kill other lions and lions are animal & i am an animal so if lion can kill another lion, so can i !   Everyone will say this is insane and illogical ... What kind of logic is this ??

Why would that be illogical ? Because lion can't be our Role model. We can't compare any wild animal with social animal i.e. human. We are social animal we live in a "civilized society". If we will take inspiration from wild animals then we won't be able to live in a civilized manner.

Other important thing is Physical differences. We can't compare lion body with human body.                                                       

We all know lion tongue is as rough as sandpaper. Lions tongue is covered in tiny spines (Papillae). They use their sharp tongue to lick fur off their prey and to scrape meat from bones.                                             There are also other visible and well known differences like teeth. Lions have canines, We are not blessed with canines.

Humans can't eat raw meat. We face digestion problem even in a well cooked meat. A lion  don't have such issues. A lion's intestine is 5 feet long which make it easy to pass meat through a lion quickly. The human intestine is about 20 feet long that's why it's hard to get meat through human digestive system. Some meat stuck in small pockets for a longtime which causes diseases.    

Somewhere at some point everyone knows that they shouldn't use lion as an excuse to eat meat but they don't want to accept it because it can become a reason for anyone to stop eating meat and they don't want that to happen. We want everything .  But we have to understand that we can't have everything we want. There is nothing in the Universe which can fulfill human greed.

link Between Animal Exploitation & Zoonotic Outbreaks

Link Between Animal Exploitation & Zoonotic Outbreaks

Covid-19 is neither First nor Last. Most if not all the recent outbreaks are zoonotic in origin. The question is WHY & HOW ? The main cause of infectious zoonotic diseases is our growing proximity to animals due to Habitat Destruction & Animal Consumption. We are destroying forests for several reasons but one of main reasons is factory farming and animal agriculture. Globally farmers are cutting and burning forest to grow food for animals in slaughter houses. The main cause of deforestation of Amazon rainforest is cattle rearing and soyabean production to feed livestock leading to habitat destruction. Resulting in increase contact between Humans, Livestock and Wildlife which exposes us to animal pathogens. According to WHO report, Increased demand for animal protien is one of the main risk factors of zoonotic disease emergence. 

HIV transmitted from Chimpanzees. The link between HIV and animal exploitation is clear as transmission must occur through infected blood or body fluids. This points to Hunting, Butchering & Consumption of these animals.

As we can see many other cases: COVID-19 originated from Wet-markets, 1918 flu pandemic by H1N1 virus, vCJD by consuming BSE infected meat, Bird flu or Avian influenza by domestic Poultry, Nipah & Hendra virus from infected bats to horses and Also from unprotected contact to pigs, SAR via bats, Swine flue from pigs, Ebola via consumption of bushmeat ETC... 

SO in order to Reduce or Mitigate the Zoonotic outbreaks, we have to stop Animal exlpoitation which inturn is the main reason of habitat destruction and Human-Wildlife contact leading to infectious zoonotic diseases.Animal exploitation not only affects animal life but also human life. Everything is interconnected on Earth. If we continue to exploite other non-human species...It will continue to fireback.
