“How could it ever be to our purpose to rob another living being of his or her purpose?”
“Confronted with the problems that characterize our herding culture, we
are perhaps like the metaphorical man wounded by an arrow that the
Buddha discussed with his students. He
said that the man would be foolish if he tried to discover who shot the
arrow, why he shot it, where he was when he shot it, and so forth,
before having the arrow removed and the wound treated, lest he bleed to
death attempting to get his questions answered. We, likewise, can all
remove the arrow and treat the wound of eating animal foods right now.
We don't need to know the whole history. We can easily see it is cruel
and that it is unnecessary; whatever people have done in the past, we
are not obligated to imitate them if it is based on delusion. Perhaps in
the past people thought they needed to enslave animals and people to
survive, and that the cruelty involved in it was somehow allowed them.
It's obviously not necessary for us today, as we can plainly see by
walking into any grocery store, and the sooner we can awaken from the
thrall of the obsolete mythos that we are predatory by nature, the
sooner we'll be able to evolve spiritually and discover and fulfill our
purpose on this earth.”
