Vegetarian

Being a vegetarian is getting more and more popular nowadays. This phenomenon is mainly caused by the influences of Buddhism. In the meanwhile, western country people thinks that being a vegetarian can help them get healthier.

Is it wrong if not be a vegetarian? Most Buddhist is a vegetarian as Buddhism tell their believer to ahimsa. So I think that being a vegetarian is just for Buddhist to impetrate ease in their soul and spirit. It is a way of showing their love on animals and living things.

Unfortunately, there are some people who distorted the original intention of being a vegetarian. It makes them looks like a heresy as they are brainwashing people that having meats is like a evil creature, destroys life and will get punished in the end. These kinds of people never realize that plants are actually a complete living things that they are actually still destroying lives. Over millions bacteria will die in one breathe or a single swallow of water. Thus, we should not take vegetarian too serious until forcing our friends or family become vegetarian like us, but always remember the initial intention of become a vegetarian.

Is it have to show the love by being vegetarian? No. People who not a vegetarian but always give out the help to child abuse also show their love. They are better than someone who is vegetarian but do not care about the society.

In short, being a vegetarian is just to cultivate ourselves. Being a vegetarian will not lead us to become better than any other but teach us to love each other. There is no right or wrong, or a moral norm for us to become a vegetarian or omnivorous. Do not change the goodwill into impel.
