Guilty as charged, but helpless to stop it?
I have a confession to make.
And it has to do with a video link that my friend Gil Magno has just sent me…
His email read:
"How cometh then that thou art not in hell?"
"Why… this is hell." Dante
How can man/woman say that s/he is made in the image of God,
(all that is good), when s/he commits the atrocities seen through
the link below.
Watch the whole thing, then let me know if you are still eating the
dead bodies of animals.
So I watched the video, as I suggest you do.
And I was horrified and disgusted.
But not just at the contents of what the video revealed… but also about what it reveals about me.
I know that my mind was working to rationalise the consumption of those foods, those animals.
I know that a big part of the reason I will cut down eating them is for my own health benefits, and only partly because of the pain caused to the animals.
I also know that indeed it will only be a 'cut down' and not a total abstinence of eating those foods.
By what mechanism is it that I can accept such clearly hideous behaviour even of myself?
How can I come to understand the cognitive dissonance that will allow me to blind myself from the sickening truth?
And by what process can I lift myself above these things, along with helping the world to grow with me?
