VEGETARIANISM IS ALL ABOUT BEING SENSITIVE

Mukesh Devrari 

Negotiation and churning of ideas have become complex with the passage of time. Limitations in the generation of ideas can be one of the reasons for this development. More than that it is a cross-application of the same set logical analysis which makes everything difficult. Even dialectics has gone wayward. More than a collision of new ideas with the old one, it is becoming reverse. Old beliefs powered by new enthusiasm and sense of loss colliding with the new ones, perhaps also doing fairly well.  

Bertrand Russell taught us that human beings must allow themselves to draw conclusions and inference based on facts. Human beings must not allow subjective notions, privileges and prior held ideas to colour the truth and justify their wrongs. It seems fairly a simple line. Reality is so complex that humans start from the very point of their practices. First humans act, then they look for the reason, not the other way round. Logic innately never leads humans towards any truth, it is such a frail activity that it can be produced and configured for almost of anything.

Sometimes most inhuman, unscrupulous and unethical practices are being supported by so sophisticated logic that even truth will feel ashamed. It means subjectivity leads to slavery and absurdity. It is claimed here, so perhaps if it is accepted as true then the ultimate inference is the human brain is incapable of thinking beyond its contextual realities. It can also be said that it is not only inference but also the objective conclusion.

Let me simplify it. Contextual reality generates a sense of conviction, it kills the questioning abilities inherent in the human brain. It cannot be forgotten that the area of human functioning hardly crosses a handful of individuals around him and circumstances. Human beings can take themselves beyond their physical and geographic realities and can attempt to reconfigure societal realities but beyond the realm of ideas it is always personal influences, which drive them, however, this pattern of thinking can be questionable.

Hardly anything exists without any justification. Human beings eat animals, justification is plasma is blood, eat vegetables is no different, so killing a snake and eating it is similar to eating grain by killing its plant. Some eat cat, dog and other animals and justification are, if anything is not poisonous it is eatable and edible. Perhaps cannibals also say why to waste vitamins and proteins by burning the human body, it should be used. What best way is to dispose of it other than eating it. Perhaps the bigger the tragedy is more than science it is a question of sensibility, which not many accept.

It is only one of the hanging ropes. There are many such clues. They can be picked, identified and highlighted. To maintain, protect and expand the ethics in human society, restraint is required in form or the other, but not necessarily force.  Curbs in human society from committing enviable acts or unwanted acts, same subjective machinery is required which has toppled its earlier version. That machine can only be charged with the power of consensus.

Contextual reality is such a complex construct, that it is difficult to imagine human existence outside it. If one is outside it, then it can also be said that it does not exist. The brain may accept certain things but years of rigging never allows anyone to accept objectivity. Just imagine a situation we could go beyond it and avoid the absurdity of our thinking abilities. Society would have become truly enlightened one.
