The Choice to Disconnect!

Let's look at our fast paced lives and see what matters to us in today's world:

• have a healthy salary
• buy food to nourish ourselves
• buy a car to get around
• buy nice clothes and furniture
• nice decor
• get the latest appliances and gadgets
• get the latest trends
• makeup and hair products
• look young and so on...

Humans needs to be comfortable. We're always coming up with new ways to make our lives easier. Ideally we don't want to do anything, not even move a finger and in today's world... we don't have to. Everything is so easy and right at our fingertips.
But how did society get here? how did everything become so easy and why do we still want things even easier?
Answer - exploitation of resources

Do we care?
Answer - No

Most people are not evil, but we, as a human race, have made the conscious decision to disconnect from everything ugly. You will notice next time there is a documentary on TV about child abuse or animal cruelty, the first thing you'll do is shut your eyes and change the channel. You know this is cruel, but you don't want to see it nor worry about it. The moment you change the channel it leaves your mind and you move on with your day.
People of today are lazy and comfortable. We don't want to worry about others' problems and we certainly don't want to change our habits to make a difference.
When you eat a hamburger or a steak, you're not thinking about where the steak came from, you're not thinking about what the animal went through before it died, you're not thinking how it was brutally slaughtered. You're just enjoying that tasty steak and that's all that matters. We are disconnected to the cruelties of the world and we accept this because is easier.
Many times I've heard people say they don't watch the news as often because they don't want to hear about the cruel things happening around us.

We need to be more sensitive to important issues! we care about these issues and yet we turn our backs.

50 billion animals die every year in a cruel, brutal, inhumane way!

Is this the society we want to live in?

Is this the person you want to be?

This is a very disturbing fact of our lives: every commercial has some sort of food product, every market is selling you an animal product, every store has a product from an animal which makes us consume more and forces us to mass produce and now with 7 billion people in the world it gets harder and harder to provide. This means more and more animals will be farmed and slaughtered every year.

I believe in nature and the cycle of life. An animal eats another animal to survive. This is natural.
But MASS PRODUCTION is not natural and doing it unethically is even less natural.

Life is not supposed to be like this. What happened to letting an animal live its life naturally and let it die peacefully. The more we grow as a society, the more we exploit our natural resources while destroying our environment and disconnecting even further....
What kind of people are we going to be 200 years from now if we continue to consume our resources at this rate?
