My view on vegan and vegetarian practise

The amount of vegans and vegetarians have been growing as the years pass. Some vegans and vegetarians restrict their diets for health reasons or for a healthy lifestyle which it has claimed to work. There are also vegans and vegetarians who restrict their diets for religious practises. Some occult , newage or magickal traditions practise vegan or vegetarianism in order not to kill lifes and also to collect good karma .

I personally felt that as long as you live, you are sure to kill something. The bacterials in the air when you breathe in, when you walk, you may accidentally kill some small insects and even microscopic organism. When you drink water, you kill the micro organism in the water. When you sit, you are also killing micro organism on the chair. Whatever you do, you kill something.

Vegetables contain living organism and vegetable has life of it's own that's why it can grow and some experiements have proven that plants and vegetables have the ability to feel emotions. In order to harvest a vegetable or to plan it, many insects are killed when the plough hits the grow or when insecticides are used. Forest have to be cleared for land to plant the vegetables and animals maybe killed in the process of clearing the forest to make farming lands. Flour are made from plants like rice and these plants, as I have mentioned above, can grow and can feel. Plants thus have consciousness in short and the ability to live. Isn't eating vegetables or plants as good as killing animals ? I personally felt that there's no difference between vegans or vegetarians or those who eat meat. They still kill, which they have always been trying to avoid. If you don't want to kill, then it's as good as not existing on Earth because existing means that you have to eat at certain time, you have to walk and drink which kills organism ... and many more examples too long to be listed here.

I personally don't see why there are rules for vegans or vegetarianism when it's also killing ? Does vegetarian diet really bring that "purity" which have been promised in religions or occult or magickal practises ?

I felt that such practises are for comforting the mind and only that.

This is my personal view of vegans and vegetarians in religious or occult or magickal practises.

This post DOES NOT seek to offend or insult any religious organizations, cult groups, magickal practises or vegans or vegetarians in any way other than me trying to express my view.

The Wandering Hermit

This is a poem I just thought of and I try to take as much out from my heart and put them into this poem. This is the first draft I penned down.

I wander past without a goal,
Carefree from the wordly affairs.
My own dreams, my own thoughts,
Beneath the clouds, I dream.

Without a care for what others might think,
I sail the clouds and streams.
On my own path I walk despite what others might think.
This a pathless path I thread,
Without worries, without care.

A spirit who wander through the worlds and space,
through the realms and places.
No restrictions and hinderances.
Thus I am truely carefree ...

In depths of thoughts I contemplate,
Who truely knows my heart ?
Few truely knows my heart.
Alone, I wander freely on,
Thus, I am the wandering hermit ...

Contemplation on Lasting and Permanence

What is permanence ? What is lasting ? I think there are many of you who have contemplated on this issue. There are different depths of contemplation on lasting. Some contemplation is very shallow ... as I call...skin deep. Some are very deep contemplation. Some of you hear others or read about articles on lasting and permanence from someone else. Maybe an author, a friend, lecturers, philosophers, religious leaders ...etc. There are some who think deeper into the topic and there are some who just listen and think for a while to check if it is true and then accept it or there are those who merely accept it just because someone said it.

The passing clouds .... seperating and gathering...

Spring to Summer, Autumn to Winter ...

Life and Death , Death and Life ...

Maybe, our true nature is the one that last ?

IdeasBank

Here I am ...back from a long absence from blogging. I am not blogging for the previous months because I have two course projects and a Major Project to handle including a End of Semester exam. That's a lot of stuff to handle and it keeps me busy.

Now the exams and projects are all over and it's a one month or more holiday, I have sufficient time to rant here as and when I wish.

I think I have come out with a new idea for the programming and development communities out there on the internet. Why don't we create an IdeasBank ? It is a database of ideas for programming and development. There are people who run out of ideas on what to program and create and I am one of these people who goes out of idea at the wrong time. With an idea database, you can store inspiriations, ideas and suggestions when the ideas arises and when you need them, all you do is to login and refer and search them. Others can also read through your ideas and use your ideas you posted there if you want but you can also set conditions on who can use your ideas or some sort of access restrictions and terms and conditions on using the ideas so to prevent others from using your ideas if they happen to.

Hmmm...I think this idea is something worthy but I need to find some willing sponsors to sponsor a free web hosting together with a database hosting and Java servlets and JSP page hosting for free as I don't really have the financial resources to get any expansive hostings and the site should be protected from general intrusions and good security too.

I would rant more later :) ...
