Being a person who respects living beings is the prime point in establishing harmony between humans and nature. I am adept at a Hindu philosophy that places us at the center of all things – not as importance, but taking into account that what one does reflects in oneself and in the other. So each one is responsible for their actions. This philosophy arose from the Vedic peoples, philosophers, doctors and Hindu scholars who wanted to discover a way of better quality of life, against nature.
So, too, I’m a vegetarian. It’s a concept of my life. I do not know if it suits everyone and I do not even advocate this idea. But as I preach non-violence, it is more consistent for me not to kill to eat. For more than 25 years I have been developing works to improve the quality of life on the planet, how could I eat meat from a murdered animal? In general, humans do not bother to know how these animals are killed. But I believe that their suffering, anguish, and pain at the moment of death are also ingested by the one who eats them. I learned this by experimenting, of course, and I realized that it was too complicated for me to have dead animals in the food.I’m healthy like that.
Ecological consciousness, so chic and politically correct in modern times, turns a blind eye to the barbarities committed against animals and nature. I try not to be conniving with this in my life and in my day to day life.
