Faces of Death
There's something I am not sure if I will ever understand. I realize the fact that Nature, which includes us, is all connected to each other, it defines one another, it feeds upon one another, taking energy, sharing energy, giving energy for the cycle to continue.
But what breaks my heart? if it is natural, if it is the way, the life, the truth...why and how could it ever break my heart? How could I ever feel against it if I am One with it? I understand that we all need to feed to gain energy to continue surviving, some feed on plants, some feed on meat, blood, some both.
When I have fed feeder fish to my Predatory Fish, I have witnessed the feeders swimming away in fear for their life, for their survival, but they failed, chomped, with monster teeth sinking into their flesh, tearing, slicing, cutting, bleeding, destroying as the feeder is devoured. Brutal indeed, some feel wrong, some feel good, some feel nothing.
Why, is my question. Why must one feed upon another? And if feeding is necessary, why extreme pain and emotions to cause extreme suffering are created? To drive one to continue surviving is it? I know that feeder has to feed upon another to survive as well, none of them are criminals, they are innocents, doing exactly what they are made to do.
We humans, do we only take what we need or do we take more than what we need? But that is not my concern here, I watched this video of a captive Lion catching a man and eating him, the man was knocked out..still breathing, bleeding everywhere, broke my heart just to watch it..to see the brutality, the creation, the fear, the pain, the suffering and that Lion created as it is, is no criminal, evil whatsoever, just a Lion...we humans have killed out of greed, in the name of sports, science...and of course food also, slaughtering so many animals, caging them, abusing them....
When the Lion ate the man, when others tried to save as the Lion fought for its trophy, refusing to let go until a bullet went through its head. The Lion is not to be blamed, the Lion is supposed to be free in the jungle doing what it is created to do instead of being in a cage for human amusements..the Lion died just trying to submit itself to the system of survival, the very system we submit ourselves to. Besides, as I said humans have killed not just other animals, but brutally their own kind also, and they do it even in the name of God. But isn't the Creator who has designed the Creation to feed upon another?
What I don't understand is...why feed upon another? Why is this creation? What is the message? What is the cause? Why must one murder another for his own hunger? Should I live only by killing another? And is that life worth it? It may not be human, but is still life with its own freewill, desire, emotions and pain...All the while we may have looked past it, but only when one of our Loved ones dies do we stop, see through and ask why in extreme pain.
I am not a soft hearted man as some may put it, Love does not make one soft, it is Love that has shaped God, Heaven, Humanity, Hope, Dream, Faith, Happiness, Strength and Power, the true reasons that actually drive us to keep on.......once I followed the system, today I am not comfortable with it.
