An Argument for Being Vegan

One significant argument in favour of being vegan could be that of the nature of the energies in the meat and milk of cows.

I once listened to an account of a mother who had witnessed her daughter being raped and murdered. This sent the mother insane and for the rest of her life, which she spent in a mental hospital, she could only repeat, "leave her alone, leave her alone."

Cows are fellow sentient beings who share the planet with us and they experience just such distress when they have their calves taken away from them, after which they know they will be killed and eaten.

Beside the fact that most people would not want to cause such suffering in a fellow creature, I would point out that the energies involved in such suffering are poured out into the meat and milk which one as a non-vegetarian may consume.

Counteracting Vagaries

One way of counteracting the problems mentioned in my post on upbringing could be to remind a child that you will want to feel proud of him or her as he or she goes through life. And also to impress upon them that adopting self-responsibility is very important.

Self-responsibility also involves one in not tolerating a detrimental situation at whatever age. This makes the abuse rebound to the abuser or to any initiator of evil worldly intent.

Upbringing

I have often noticed that young people who have experienced an excellent upbringing, go off the rails as young adults and into later life and people who have experienced dreadful problems as children or have had a very poor upbringing turn out to be successful and constructive citizens.

Could it be that children who have to develop survival mechanisms at a very young age are fully trained in coping with life's inevitable vagaries once they reach adulthood.

Designer Babies

One wonders about the wisdom of ordering a designer baby, as there are numerous and decisive factors which are totally unpredictable concerning the development of a foetus and it's ensuing life.

I feel it is better to consult a good astrologer upon the baby's arrival. S/he can ascertain both difficulties the child could encounter and also flaws in it's make-up. One can work vigorously against both and often produce a very positive outcome.

I have seen personally that when conducted properly this can be very effective.
