You reap what you sow

The universal law is, you reap what you sow.
If you plant a bitter melon seed, you will get a bitter melon. You will never get a sweet melon. Yet it never occurred to us that when we work for others, it comes back to ourselves. So every action, every thoughts that we have... if it is motivated by love, it brings us the fruits of happiness; it brings us health and happiness. If we cause harm to others, it will come back to harm ourselves. This is not a "big" Law. It is nature's law.

Was reading a book on stories of refraining from killing and liberating lives... was rather awed by what i read...
"All living beings are forever revolving on the wheel of birth and death from the time of no beginning. So, they are all related to one another. However many a time they change their forms to become animals in the process of transmigration. So how can we be so unkind as to eat their flesh? Thus the offence of consuming meat is beyond description.

After reading parts of the book, i felt somehow guilty to be killing other animals to eat... come to think of it... it is really cruel rite? Every animal has the right to live.. and we human are killing them to eat them... how cruel!!!
But then, its quite hard for us not to eat meat as well. So many delicious food are of meat...

Well.. i wouldnt commit to saying i wont eat meat anymore. Its really pretty hard, but i will lower my consumption. at least I can kill less animal like this rite?
