violence SOS

Violence would have been dropped long ago if it weren’t that humans are so quarrelsome. Our thirst for war and our need to practise domination over animals has been our undoing. In particular, this violence would have disappeared if we hadn’t become so hooked on yummy foods and a number of other comforts of life associated with products from the animal industries. But now we are having to face up to things like climate change, our own carbon footprint, mass starvation, high incidence of obesity and water shortage and each of them can be related back to decadent lifestyle and the enslavement of animals. We are beginning to reassess things, personal things, about on which side of the attitude barrier we stand. Climate change has been a jolt to our present complacent consciousness. We’re beginning to see the need for radical changes to our very thinking patterns. And if we are to eventually save the world we’ll be saving our souls at the same time. We can either do it easily or do it kicking and screaming. The choice is ours. The SOS is out and we can’t ignore it for very much longer.
