Ani Kunzang with Rosie from Taras Babies Animal Rescue
From a series of tweets by @ahkonlhamo:
I am now a #Vegan, but how can I rejoice when animals are still slaughtered and tortured for their flesh and skin every day?
I #rescue animals, but how can I be happy when dogs, puppies, cats and others are killed every day because they are inconvenient?
I wonder if we can ever overcome the hatred, callousness, lack of empathy, bigotry that have become so common, and invisible?
We treat the poor, those that disagree with us, animals, different ethnicity, or religion with no respect or dignity. And ACT pious.
If we are so callous, unloving, mean-spirited and cruel- what god do we serve besides the god of ego and habitual tendency? We are blind!
One should never preach without compassion for all. Or pontificate from ego or hate. It does no good and is a disservice to the world.
It’s not for me to tell people how to eat or how to live. But it IS for me to beg that all beings be loved and cherished, given dignity.
We can commit to adding love, joy, compassion and healing to the world every day. That’s a good day. A bad day is when we hurt thru hate.
We have the extraordinary capacity for choice, mindfulness, and LOVE. To use them is mastery of life! To ignore is to wallow in ignorance.
Please, for the sake of all sentient beings, choose well! #stopthehate #bringthelove #feedthepoor
I hear what you’re saying and I’m certainly no saint, but I do agree that people need to break out of their relativistic bubble and view the world as an interconnected web of life.
Namaste Dharma sister!
