Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 One more example of how the universe is established in such a way that we must care about others, animals included, in order to survive, so that one cannot be perfect in health by simply maintaining her or his diet, but a cooperative change is needed... In any case, I was vegetarian for 2 years, and vegan for a year of it, and DEFINITELY I'm doing MUCH better on lots of animal products. And somwhere around 80% of the vegan/vegetarian people I know ran into health problems because of it, including one who started turning yellow! Peace, Chris ____ " What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for those who do them wrong.
