Sufferer

I am not against those who provide sustenance
For themselves and their family.  I'm not standing in judgement of them
Nor am I affirming their actions.
Their own conscience must do that.
What is going on in the slaughterhouses is not for sustenance but
For gluttony.
Gluttony is a poison, a vice, a disease, a sin that hurts and maimes.
If we claim to be people of peace, love and compassion and
Condone or worse, ignore what is going on
In these places of suffering and death
Then we are hypocrites and liars.
We are self deluded.
Then we are participants in and enablers of their suffering.
I am against gluttony. I am against the ignorance and dispassion that allows it. I Abhor and grieve the suffering it brings, not only to the one who suffers
But to those causing the suffering.  They are both, ultimately, suffering.
