For hundreds,thousands years ago, our world was simple. But, now in these days,
our world gotten worse and complex. Have you wondered ever why this might happened? Because of us. That's right. Because of People. Before WWII, which was 1945, our population was nearly 2 billion. Since the beginning and until 1945, population was 2 billion. It never exceeded over 2 billion. But, after, 1945 and until now, over 60 years has been passed, and nearly 4 billion of population has been increased. After WWII, world became more complex and more difficult place to live. Humans thinkings has been more complex ever than before and so does our lives. Thus, because of complex of thinkings, our types of pains which suffers from mentally, and physically has been dramatically increased. All of these are came from the increase of population. So, why in the world, population has been so increased huge? There could be many reasons but I believe because humans eat MEATS. Before WWII, humans didn't eat meats that much like NOW. Moreover, Asians, didn't eat meat at all only just few times a year. But now, look at us. once a day, people eat meats. For western people, well...don't tell me about it..... Every living creatures has a some sort of soul. Not like the ones we have, but some kind of mind energy of souls. When they die, they do not die together. Every day, on the EARTh, thousands, millions of animals are being killed because of our food, or even for fun. When those animals die, their soul become seperate from their body and actually about 0.00001 percent becomes human. From our point of view, these numbers we should take seriously. This is not a buddha's theory, nor teachings. This is science and philosophy. Origin energy becomes to different beings....... Look at the people around from New York, or Boston, L.A. Look closely to their faces. Many people have a thoughts from animals. They have a kind of mix thinkings mind from animals and humans. Animals wants to live and hang around with only their spieces(races). This kind of animals thoughts now came to human soul. Thus we have now more violence in our society ever than before. Students kill their parents and teachers and other countries send troops to other countries to invade and have war. Because of money, humans kill animals, friends, and parents, and destroy the ocean and nature. Look at you're true self identity. In the beginning, our heart was pure and clean. Eventhough, we have a small desire, we can control it, but animals can't. So, now EARTH became the place where controlled by violece and power. Not every politics nor civilization can save our world. only WE CAN.

The world's population is about 6.5 billion now and the growth of the population has been rather steady excepting for WW2. It has never been 20 billion, nor anything close to that.
After WW2 the world did become more complex but not necessarily difficult. Through all of human history the world has become more complex than it was before, this is called evolution and it doesn't just apply to genetics. But increased complexity doesn't mean things are worse. Life expectancy has increased, we've gone to the moon, small pox has been eliminated, people can travel the world in days rather than years, and technology is giving us the ability to do more than we could ever before. Blaming all the worlds problems on meat consumption trivializes our problems. Meat (red meat especially) provides more protein, vitamins, and minerals that any other food portion. We can't live on plants alone because they lack protein but if you carefully combine a diet of plants with milk and egg products then a person can do well. If you see the earth as a place of violence and power then that is what you are choosing to see. But you are ignoring playgrounds, pristine forrests, clean rivers and streams, majestic mountains covered in pure snow, art, paintings, sculptures, music, gardens, literature, farms, charity... I could go on forever. |

Yes, I am not saying that we should all be vegetarian...It is not important...
what does really matter important for us, is that if you really need to eat meat and thus if you get enlightment from it, that is done so. Also, we should not really think of eating only plants because it may be good for you're soul, but not you're body. So, thus, do not think about what you really going to eat for you're next meal.

Over population may be a legitimate issue, but it is not the main issue when it comes to global warming. Concentrating on population distracts us from the real problem, which is not how many of us there are but how we live. And if you are actually arguing that meat consumption is the reason for why our population is increasing then all you're succeeding in doing is convincing people that meat consumption is beneficial to fecundity.

Friends,
The understanding of population increase is like this if one accpets that humans have evolved through various stages from a single cell to fish to plants to animals and lastly man. If that is true then surely the population increase is clearly understood by the fact that the beings in the lower stages of evolution like fishes, plants are facing extinctions and they too have evolved as humans now. Again nature will take care of it when the human conciousness reaches a peak and more and more huamns realise the truth and humans eveolve to super humans who will again set right things when rivers will again be rivers and mountains will be mountains. However the past is no more trhe future we have not seen. What is IS HERE-NOW and only by relising truth by individuals will he get answeres to all questions when the himself does not remain and all dualities disappears. Love & rgds |

Friend,
What is true and what is not is only known when the individual realises it and not by any any other means. Love & rgds |
