“Being all fashioned of the same dust,
Let us be merciful as well as just.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
American poet
These lines by Longfellow bring to mind the words of Solomon in
Ecclesiastes 3:19-20 where he says, “All came from the dust and all
return to the dust.”
19 For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the
same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same
breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is
vanity.
20 All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return
to the dust.
Isn’t it interesting that a few thinkers in the past recognized the
truth; but here we are in the 21st century, yet most people continue to
cling to false ideas that should have been discarded long ago?
When will humans admit that going vegan would benefit themselves as
well as other animals and the planet? Even the Bible (that so many
people claim they believe) clearly states the Creator’s original intent
for them in Genesis 1:29:
29 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding
seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has
fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you.”
