Abolish Cruelty to All Species To Promote Kindness
I have published this article to hopefully change the mindset of senseless killings, which took place against our own kind, in New Zealand on Friday 15th March 2019.
Until there is a united understanding that all cruelty and suffering is intolerable, then it will perhaps continue.
If humans can be cruel to some species, then some reason why not to their own?
Mohammed taught " A good deed done to a beast is as good as doing good to a human being; while an act of cruelty to a beast is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being."
There are many examples of cruelty and killings to other animals that are deemed acceptable. Whether it be trapping animals that are considered pests, poisoning, baiting, hunting of another species or entrapping an animal for entertainment, how can the limited human pysche divide these actions against their own? To support the unnecessary hunting of another species (often cloaked by making the hunting to rid the world of a 'pest'), makes it possible for some people to give permisson to themselves and others, to believe that the intolerance of another's existance is quite justified. Not many human's need to hunt to survive. It would appear that domesticated human's justify unnecessary killings.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ― Mahatma Gandhi
When we lie in the jaws of a predator, we only do so because we have ourselves have given over to the belief that we took a risk and in doing so, accepted the outcome may be injury or death. To alter the mind we must alter the actions, we must start with asking 'what is acceptable violence and suffering', and be united in the answer is 'none'.
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong". Mahatma Gandhi
We all carry a weapon, the choice is which do you permit - kindness or cruelty?
Three Fish - Day 5
Once upon a time, there was a stream. In that stream, there were three fish. The first fish was named "Futuristic"
Futuristic always planned for the future. It always thought of what would happen to the stream in three months, in six months, in twelve months, in twenty-four months, in five years, and so on. It had a scientific approach.
The second fish was named “Spontaneous" It had lots of ideas to get out of difficult situations. For example, it knew all the exit routes from the stream, the various ways to dive deep into the water, and it knew the different ways to jump out of danger etc. Spontaneous was also very active and had friends among fellow-fish.
The third fish was called "Just Another". Just Another never planned for the future, nor did it know the tricks to get out of difficult situations.
One fine day, Futuristic swam to sea level and checked the mean temperature of the sun. It seemed to Futuristic that it was too hot. Given this kind of temperature, and considering the depth of the stream, the stream would dry up within a month. Saying this aloud to Spontaneous and Just Another, Futuristic said it was leaving the stream and going out to a bigger pond, lake, river or sea. It hoped Spontaneous and Just Another would join, but that did not happen.
Soon, the stream began to dry up. A fisherman came by and caught both Spontaneous and Just Another in his net. Being an athletic fish, Spontaneous jumped out of the net before it lost its life and back into the water and swam out into sea. However, Just Another died in the fisherman's net. Just Another was the kind of fish who would perish without a fight when all the others perish. It simply left things to destiny.
Therefore, it is for us to decide whether we wish to be like Futuristic, Spontaneous or Just Another. Whichever route we choose to take in our lives, be rest assured that our faith belief stays with us.
Hey Pakeha - are you gonna let Seymour talk for you
