Hello,
Right now it is an experiment for me, to see if I will be happier that
way. Why? Inspired by...
1) a more harmonic life with all living beings.
2) philosophy of life elements: in hinduism there is a division of
life energies into sattva (peace), rajas (activity), and tamas
(darkness). Meat is considered tamastic: dark and bad for the person's
body and soul. To explain: It destroys the peace of mind, meat is
connected with desire, passion, and violence. I think it might be hard
to combine a truthful life of modesty and self-control with eating meat.
3) health reasons: I heard theories that proteins should be much
better in nuts, seeds, cheese, etc.
But I find it hard to separate the reasons. Somehow they might be
connected...
I hope this helps you.
