i believe in that God Chip in the brain, something designed to process and trigger wonderment. it allows you to see beauty, to uncover beauty in the world. but it's not so well designed. it's a chip that has its problems. sometimes it confuses a small man with a bad moustache and a uniform for an image of the infinite; sometimes an almond-eyed girl on a big screen for the stained-glass window of a church.
i like the wisdom of soul mama's menu"It is my personal belief that sometime in the distant future most people will live by a vegetarian diet. Vegetarian food is comprehensively better for humans and the rest of the planet as the pressure placed on the natural world, by our ever-expanding civilization, can be lessened markedly by a gradual shift toward a mainly vegetarian diet.Through a worldwide reduction of grazing animals, (that we breed to eat), we can retard or even stop the wholesale clearing of forests & land, which in turn will continue to provide our medicines & invigorate the ecology & balance of the Earth. Farmed animals consume half of the grain and half of all the worlds fresh-water. This alone would leave billions of tons of food avaliable to feed billions of people. If we lessen our consumption of animals, we may in turn become gentler ourselves, perhaps in the way most vegetarian animals are placid, we too may feel less ferocious. One thing is for sure, if we eat less meat, we kill less meat. Meat is all meat, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, fish and all other living sentient creatures.Vegetarianism is the fastest & most enduringly positive contribution any person can give at anytime in their lives as they will improve, enhance, enliven and compassionately add many years towards our greater existence"Paul Mathis (1961 - )
