00:00 If you choose to eat flesh, you are making life worse for you.

00:05 Will killing an animal make you more peaceful?

00:09 If it does, go ahead and kill it.

00:11 And when you kill an animal, look into its eyes.

00:14 You are creating trouble for the animal, are you not?

00:17 You are already suffering a lot.

00:18 And now you are making the other creature suffer.

00:22 Is that reducing your suffering or compounding your suffering?

00:25 The moment you kill an animal, you have compounded your own suffering.

00:29 And if you are saying that it does not matter whom you slaughter,

00:34 then why stop at animals?

00:35 Go ahead and slaughter a human being.

00:38 The question is, why don't we eat human beings?

00:40 We don't eat human beings because they carry a certain consciousness.

00:44 By the same logic, you should not kill animals.

00:46 So just as you can spare human beings, please try sparing animals as well.
