Conflict

Saw a chicken transport van today. At very close quarters. The plight of the poor creatures inside was heart-wrenching! And I've seen the way the people who kill/sell these birds treat them. Very inhumane!

As usual, I felt conflicted. But I tend not to run that argument through my head these days. There's no point, I know which side wins! I'm human and thereby a low-down friggin' hypocrite. If something horrible were to happen to me tomorrow I really couldn't look up to God and whine about it! I deserve any crap that comes my way. And whining about it on Blogspot doesn't give me any moral high ground or redeem me in any sense.

The fact is, I can do without chicken or stinky fuckin' fish... it's just that I need a worthy, convenient substitute for meat. And fruits and veggies just don't cut it! But I refuse to take all the blame. I blame my parents for the most part for rearing me on a non-veg diet! If I'd been brought up like a nice Jain girl, for example, I'd cringe at the sight of flesh, let alone eat it!

If I ever have kids I'm going to bring them up as strict veggies. Decided! I feel slightly unburdened now! :-)
