Which Wolf Won ?
One evening an old grandfather told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said,
"My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside all of us.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false, pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf wins?"
The old grandfather simply replied, "The one you feed."

will I eat a dumb & deaf human coz its a rich source of Protein, and incapable otherwise !!
when civilistaion started long long back....ppl lived naked and just killed anything and ate raw...then they became a little civilised and knew to cook meat before eating, (also started hiding/protecting their body parts), then they became a little more civilised and stared agriculture and eating chosen vegetables. By now they also started living in homes and started grouping and society started forming. Many many years down the line Islam, Hinduism etc came into existence as a result of thoughts and experiences being converted into actions. Different people followed different philosophies...some chose ahimsa and tried to go as closer to not hurting others as possible, others did research and proved that non-veg is not meant/that good for humans (and its true, but that is another detailed story). Also some ate meat because they lived in no-vegetation area, where they had/have nO option. So that is human history in a nutshell.
Now, whenever this question is asked, all of us start taking stands, rather than rationalising, unbiased. According to me ideal situation will be when we can stop plucking/killing and eating vegetables also (and not only animals) and live just on
fallen and dying plants etc...But that is not possible (I fail to see this for the masses) so we have to take our own calls and choose the extent to which we can tend towards idealism.
Looking from the vitamin,protein etc point of view also there are vegan substitutes (like milk) for the meat of every goat,cow, fish that we kill, and they seem to better serve our need for food and the purpose of ahimsa and spirituality,though not fully. Speaking culturally, I can not imagine revered personalities like Jesus Christ or Prophet, Ram, or Buddha etc eating a goat, cow or lamb, but yes they have all saved and nurtured these animals in many instances in history.
So, finally, i feel that it is not that my God wants me to eat meat or forbids me from eating meat, it is more of every individuals own intellectua/cultural status and understanding the evolution of humanity (not humans..eh..), and civilisation
that one eats or does not eat meat....

idea of Sanaatan dharma...
Quite Plausible...read on....
well, hinduism is a pagan religion. there is no concept of God in Hinduism but several gods representing different forces of nature, indra, varun, etc. the purans and upnishads were written in medevial time by corrupt brahmins to fulfil their own interests. they all are well contradicting. shiva mahapuran states that in the beginning there was shiva, and he created brahma and vishnu, while vishnu puran states the same for vishnu.
as for shivling, one puran states that it's a representation of virility, ling means male genitals. scriptures say that once shiva was making love with parvati and agatsya muni knocked the foor. shiva couldn't open the door and was cirsed by agatya that he'll he'll be worshipped in the same form (ling over yoni, the common depiction of shivling).
another legend states that some sages who were jealous of shiva's masculinity cut his genitals, which fell through all the worlds(loks) creating tremors. parvati was requested to stop the ling, so she stopped it on her yoni. so you can see how much the purans differ.
as for the pagan hindu gods, they are considered to be the souce of/or eveloved from the same source as greek and roman pagan gods (like zeus:indra, uranus:varun, jupiter:brihaspati/guru).
some even say that abraham and sara are obscure forms of brahma and sarasvati, but this is debatable.
the legend of noah or nooh is stated in vedas as the legend of manu. manu saved the mankind from the flood, so the sanskrit word for man is "manav", son of manu. and it's so similar to the word "man".
i can go on forever but in a nutshell, humanity evolved at a single place and migrated, and carried along with it the legends. which changed significantly as generations passed. and also due to the later inter mixings and migrations.
