Article 19. Violence

Violence would have been dropped long ago if it weren’t for the fact 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 the products of the Animal Industry. The convenience and yumminess of food forces society to keep this subject hidden by taboo. But now we are having to face up to things like climate change, carbon footprints, air pollution and water conservation. We are beginning to reassess which side of the attitude barrier we stand. Climate change is altering our consciousness. We are beginning to see that if we do eventually save the world we also save the human soul. We can go down that road either easily or kicking and screaming
“Coming, ready or not” - attitudes are about to change, forcing us to step outside our comfort zones. Old habits of disliking or disapproving of others seem to be comforting but turn out to be just an energy drain.
