The problem with humanity is that in our “superiority”, we have become increasingly blind to what our humanity means and is for. What is “human” is our ability to think, feel, know and act accordingly, but it’s our base wants, fears and appetites that rule and are generally our way of life and its unwritten laws. Our habits build by our wants become our reality and righteousness. Covid has changed this a bit as it has proven we are in fact of science and nature. We are flesh and blood, biological just like all other living, breathing creatures on earth.
To see humanity and all living beings as a part of nature will allow us to understand life more fully, and develop a more holistic way of living and society. When we think of ourselves as a part of the natural world we will be able to see our health, and well being are intrinsically tied to it. We could see that harming nature is harming ourselves as we accept and understand we rely upon nature just as is relies upon us.
We cannot remove ourselves from nature and the more we try, the more we suffer, fail and decline. Once we embrace this reality, nature as life, then our appetites and wants that are in opposition to nature will seem increasing odd, destructive and unfathomable.
Veganism has greatly advanced holistic thought but life is still very much like watching drug addicts desperately self destructing because their minds tell them they need a fix. For about 98% of humanity that fix is meat, dairy and other animal products which allows us to ignore the devastation and destruction of those wants. There is still no easy way to get through to humanity as habits of millions of years are hard to break but its not impossible. Carnivorism is only a habit we must break. These habits must be broken for our survival, so we must find away.
We simply can’t ignore and destruct nature as we are completely a part of it. This is a simple truth that is becoming clearer everyday. What keeps the truth hidden is our specism and our world’s systems. Capitalism is the system based on ignoring , denying this truth as denying nature and its importance is profitable. Veganism and holistic living is the opposite, society based on thriving without harm, in sync and harmony with nature, not in opposition. It’s our choice and once you understand and accept the truth, it’s an easy choice to make.
Love, kindness, charity, care all matter and all are derived of holistic, natural need. Satisfying hunger, fun, joy and comfort, human want basically, can all be achieved without harming nature or any living beings. We can all live in perfect harmony with our world. Just another species and as the ones in charge we responsible for the smooth, fair and sustainable running of our collective home and the fair treatment and survival of all its species. That’s our job and what our “superiority “, dominance is for. The sooner humanity comes around to this awareness, this truth, the better it will be for all of us and our planet as well.
