Cows Aren't Even Supposed to Eat Corn!
The global atrocity of eating animals kills more innocent beings in one year than all human atrocities over the past 5,000 years combined! This makes veganism the most important aspect of animal rights because almost every animal who is abused and killed on this planet is abused and killed by the meat, dairy and egg industries, despite the fact that no one in this day and age needs meat, cheese, milk and eggs to survive. The only exception would be people residing in icy environments or desert settings. But eating animals for pure survival is rare with only around 1 percent of the earth’s population being able to use this excuse. Keep in mind, this is just a valid excuse and NOT a justification. I understand why they do it. I wouldn’t do it under any circumstances, but I understand their motives. Everyone else on this planet eats animals and the things that come out of animals for four reasons: Habit, convenience, taste and tradition. With the addition of the profit motive, those are invalid, unnecessary and barbaric reasons to intentionally harm animals.Meat-eating societies are also the main cause of world hunger. In America, we continually feed around 70 percent of our corn, wheat, oats and soy to billions of farmed animals instead of starving people! Every two seconds, someone on this planet dies from malnutrition while pigs and cows get fat. Consequently, meat-eaters are anti-human because feeding billions of animals instead of millions of hungry children is an indirect form of genocide.
Worldwide, around 60 billion land animals [10 billion in the USA] and 90 billion marine animals [18 billion in the USA] are killed and eaten every year in a monumental Holocaust borne of ignorance, arrogance and racism. The human race v. animal race brand of racism permits humans to enslave and kill any other species with impunity. Singer calls speciesism the “purest form of racism” because it kills more innocent beings that any form of human-to-human racism.
This is why vegans are the utmost humanitarians. We indiscriminately seek justice for all by doing unto others as we would have done unto ourselves [THE GOLDEN RULE].
In America, each meat-eater is responsible for the deaths of 3,000 land animals and thousands of other marine animals throughout their lifetime. Meat-eating, however, is not an instinctive behavior. It is learned tradition. Scientific claims of the human body being omnivorous or carnivorous are erroneous and illogical. If someone placed a two-year old child in a crib with a bunny rabbit and an apple, the child would play with the rabbit and eat the apple, an unambiguously herbivorous reaction. (via)”
THIS is why I say that meat eaters are lacking awareness. Were you aware of these facts? Clearly you are not.

Suddenly, I Miss My Childhood Time
Kalau anak-anak dulu maen layangan. Sekarang sudah pada malu. Karena istilah ALAY. Yang bikin istilah ini berdosa kepada generasi di bawah saya. Padahal layangan adalah kesukaan saya. Dan masih bakal tetap main kalau banyak waktu. Kalau sekarang pasti sudah maenan bbm, twitter, game ipad, PB dll. Kurang kreatif. Hasilnya bisa dilihat saat kuliah. Permainan lainnya adalah tamiya. Ya, ini menghabiskan uang. Tapi lihat sisi baiknya. Kreatifitas kita diuji. Bagaimana bisa buat mobil lebih kncang? Tamiya masih mainan paling kreatif menurut saya. Bagaimana dinamo di kilik. Sebesar apa ring. Sekuat apa sasis. Selama apa batere. Yah, saya beruntung menjadi bagian dari anak-anak kreatif masa dulu. Alhamdulillah. Walau tidak pintar. Tapi lebih baik.

Who Needs Reality?
Terkadang mimpi jauh lebih indah dengan yang ada di dalam dunia nyata.Segala apa yang diinginkan bisa terwujud.
Kamu bisa jadi apa saja.
Kamu bisa memiliki apa saja.
Bahkan hal-hal yang paling mustahil dalam hidupmu bisa dengan mudah kamu dapatkan dalam dunia mimpi.
Lalu, jika ada dunia mimpi yang serba "gampang", mengapa kita malah ada di dunia nyata?
(Percayalah, mendapatkan sesuatu hal yang kamu inginkan dengan mudah terkadang malah membuat bosan. Kadang, usaha dan jerih payah mendapatkan sesuatu lah yang membuatnya malah lebih berharga. Analogikan dengan roller coaster, jika roller coaster jalannya lurus-lurus saja maka akan terasa bosan, sama seperti dengan hidup yang serba gampang dan mudah, lama kelamaan akan terasa flat dan kurang bermakna. Jika roller coasternya terdapat tanjakan, turunan, spin, malah akan membuat deg-degan namun menyenangkan, sama halnya dengan hidup.)
"Life is like roller coaster, you can scream and run out, or sit and enjoy the ride."

Footsteps
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... And still on your feet. -Stephen King
I've randomly taken all these pictures above. Everywhere my feet stand, everything my eyes see. I love observing people, how they talk, how they socialize, and especially the feet's moves.
