the eternal dilemma

In fact - a topic for which I left a lot of money at the psychologist... 😉

So many sheep are slaughtered every day

I try to whisper that to myself again and again. I'm not even a vegetarian...
And whoever would eat my animals would be happy, because it would be a flawless food. There would be a guarantee that the sheep had a very good life, that neither poisons nor hormones or anything else used in industrial food production had contaminated their bodies (their meat). Love certainly tastes pretty good too...

The ‘problem’ is the emotional attachment. Every single animal has its own character, every single animal I like to care for and cuddle lovingly. Yes, I love every single sheep of the 26 (even the ones that have already given me bruises).

Maybe I should convert to Islam? Sheep like mine are definitely the ones God envisioned as sacrifices. Not the ones that are bought for the feast. No, the ones you really love - that when you sacrifice them, you are actually giving away what you hold most dear....

You know what? I've been reading and rereading this... The way you've explained this concept so beautifully—it honestly gave me goosebumps. You're such a learned person. I'm still in awe. To grasp such fine nuances... I didn’t even know how to respond. But I think you know what I’m trying to say.

I have made a silent prayer in my heart ❤️
