can human survive in isolation? Can humanity survive? If yes, think of a barren world without animals, vegetation & nature and live on dry land of science, the so defined, so twisted science devoid of care and consideration for vast loving, useful animal kingdom?
5) VIOLENCE: Open the inner eyes of right thinking and think, see & visualise for a while what is going on in the today's world of so-twisted science? Why these terrorism born terrible air disasters & train accidents? Why these tremendous earthquakes, floods & several natural calamities? Why these brutal killings outnumbering any age and any civilised culture? If you go deep impartially, you will realise and find the root cause of several imbalances in the world in violence of innocent animals and violation of cosmic laws of compassion & nature! Do you think that the cries & sighs of lakhs of dying dumb voiceless animals will be going in vain? Do you think that the nature won't punish the violent world with multiplied counter violence in its own way? What a terribly violent world of today! Visualising & foreseeing this coming violent world from its very birth right from Hiroshima's bombing of the innocents, several seers, well-wishers of humanity were greatly moved and went into the depth of human problems & violence and its root-causes. Count Leo Tolstoy, thinker-writer of the "The War & Peace", amongst several causes attached no lesser importance to the terribly violent and pathetically painful killing of animal in a mechanical abattoir in Moscow. He witnessed through his own eyes when he visited it, found the cries & sighs of dying animals resulting in creation of violent winds of its eaters and got so much moved that he himself could not eat for three days and ultimately gave up meat-eating forever! (if the advocates of mechanical scientific abattoirs ever go to any of the modern mechanical abattoirs like Mumbai Deonar, which the author of these words has visited, they will never think of atleast advocating such so called scientific killings! Do they have courage & sincerity to have such on the spot study of the facts or they will go on delivering imaginative sermons from the chairs of multistar hotels?)
Similar deep thinkings of other great souls of the West like Bertrand Russel & George Bernard Shaw also go into the root causes of the global violence, violent mind & relationship of human with the animal world. Also worth-thinking, seriously thinking is the novel "Animal Farm" by another western author, which voices the pathos of voiceless animals, which have served humankind from time immemorial. And above all, voicing with Mahathma Gandhi, Nobel Laurette Rabindranath Tagore voiced his concern over animal sacrifices of ancient tradition and slaughtering & killing of animals & human beings in modern scientific fashion through a number of his literary works, plays & poems. He seems to be terribly moved when he sees this ever-growing violent world, which has gone made of violence and he prays to compassionate Buddha to reincarnate and make the earth free from violence, blood & bloodsheds of all kinds in this important song of his:
HINSHAYA UNMATTA PRITHVI NITYA NITHOOR DWANDA GHOR KUTIL PANTH TAR LOBHA JATILA BANDHA
