If God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of food.

Kudos on coming up with an interesting question (again)! (not really a question but rather a statement)

So when I read your post I heard two very profound questions


1. Did God really tell you not to eat meat (well I won't go into if God exists)
Summary Answer: People stopped eating meat to have a frugal living. Most of religions I know of talks about pain as a path to god. Renounciation is a primary conponent of moksha(nirvana)
2. Why do we eat meat?
- I come from a place where a lot of people are vegetarian. Meat is not allowed in my house
- Sidenote: I was a vegetarian before I came to United States.
Summary Answer: Another food resource

As usual on my free time I have to look around for some stuff so, here it is

Notes on Question 1:
- The earliest records of vegetarianism found ancient India and the ancient Greek civilizations.
- Vegetarian diet was called abstinence from beings with a soul
- Pythagoras abstained from the flesh of animals
- The ancient vegetarians held that consumption of meat hampered their ascetic and philosophical endeavors.
- Although Stoics(who belived that they should accept whatever comes..eg a notorious stoic who was nearly overcome by emotion in his postgame press conference) believed that animals were on an ontologically lower level than humans
- there were other reasons for not eating animal flesh, such as ascetic simplicity and its being unnecessary for human nutrition
- Hinduism: A bhakta (devotee) offers all his food to Vishnu or Krishna as prasad before eating it.
It is a sacrilige to offer meat to God. It is only in the perfect world that you find no exceptions.
So there are exceptions here as well. There is a culture of animal sacrifice in the eastern part of the country including neighbours like Nepal etc.
- Jain and Buddhist sources show that the principle of nonviolence toward animals was an established rule in both religions as early as the 6th century BC
- The religions of Chinese Buddhism and Taoism require that monks and nuns eat an egg free, onion free vegetarian diet

Notes on Question 2:
- we come from a long line of meat eaters
- Humans are omnivores. They have teeth and digestive tracts that adapt well to both animal and non-animal foods
- meat is a dense source of many crucial nutrients
- Meat digests quickly and puts a lot of nutrients into your body in a single bite.

Blogging Developer Knowledge:Motivations, Challenges, and Future Directions \cite{parnin2013blogging}

blogs are supplanting and improving upin many traditional forms of knowledge sharing such as official documentation or asking colleagues etc.

 the corporate blogging community
provides access to tacit knowledge and that it contributes to
new forms of collaboration within the enterprise.

found that the interactivity in blogs is limited,
and they speculate that many bloggers contribute to blogs in
order to reflect, share opinions and advice.

data collection:
1. select 3 technology areas
2. select 2 technology platforms from each area
3. studies several common concepts, tasks or questions developers may have
4. select keywords which has mixture of tasks and specific technical terms

There are many research directions to explore:
1) Publishing tools: How to support or automate blogging
of coding tasks?
4) Knowledge tools: Aggregating, curating, and mining blog
post content.

Jo lehron se aage nazar dekh paati toh tum jaan lete main kya sochta hoon,
Wo aawaz tumko bhi jo bhed jaati toh tum jaan lete main kya sochta hoon.
Zid ka tumhare jo parda sarakta toh khidkiyon se aage bhi tum dekh paate,
Aankhon se aadaton ki jo palken hatate toh tum jaan lete main kya sochta hoon.
Meri tarah khud par hota zara bharosa toh kuchh door tum bhi saath-saath aate,
Rang meri aankhon ka baant-te zara sa toh kuchh door tum bhi saath-saath aate,
Nasha aasmaan ka jo choomta tumhe bhi, hasraten tumhari naya janm paatin,
Khud doosre janam mein meri udaan chhoone kuchh door tum bhi saath-saath aate.

Any relationship is under the control of the person who cares the least. When relationships end it is typically because of unmet expectations or one person is not feeling love or cherished by the other. For relationships to grow and last both members have to be equal with the love they give; and both should do it, not because they think they have to do it, but because they want to do it.

ElastiC Limit

Most objects/humans which/who are subjected to an applied stress will return to their original shape and dimensions provided the stress is below a characteristic threshold for the material/person of which they are made. This limit is called the elastic limit (or sometimes yield point). Beyond this stress level, plastic/personage deformation occurs, wherein the atomic or molecular structure changes shape permanently.

O lord

If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou unlucky one,
open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou unlucky one,
trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou unlucky one,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
and let it burn alone.

I had to flee with whatever little self-respect I had left. I was treated like a dog and now SCREW YOU
