What is love? ’tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What’s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty,—
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
This romantic, warm and sad poem is Carpe Diem by William Shakespear. It is of course about a realistic delight in human relations. Science now reveals to us a whole world of relations in which we, our actions, loves, rewards, satisfactions, desires and fulfiments are bound together in so many ways. Loving yourself can no longer be divorced from Loving the Planet.
So let’s talk about butchery. If you can get meat, proper tasty textured meat that is far healthier for your body and does not involve killing animals and destroying rainforests, would you not want to do that? It is an act of love for yourself and for the planet.
