I-vegetarianism ingavimbela kanjani ukuhlushwa kwengqondo uma imifino iyalulekwa ukuze ifinyelele ukuhlushwa?
I-Vegetarianism iye yalulekwa ngesigaba esithile sokukhula, inhloso kuwukunqoba inkanuko, ukulawula izifiso zomzimba ngaleyo ndlela kuvimbele ingqondo ukuba inganyakazi. Ukuze ulawule izifiso umuntu kufanele aqale abe nesifiso futhi ukuze agxilise ingqondo, umuntu kufanele abe nengqondo. Leyo ngxenye yomqondo efakwe emzimbeni, ithinta lowo mzimba ngokuba khona kwawo futhi yona ithintwa umzimba. Umqondo nomzimba kuyasabela komunye nomunye. Umzimba wenziwe ngokudla okungena emzimbeni, futhi umzimba usebenza njengesizinda noma isisekelo somqondo. Umzimba ukumelana nomqondo osebenza ngakho futhi uba namandla. Uma umzimba ungumzimba wemifino esikhundleni somzimba wesilwane uzosabela engqondweni ngokwesimo sawo futhi ingqondo ngeke ikwazi ukuthola amandla aphikisayo noma amandla adingekayo ukuze usebenze futhi uthuthukise amandla namandla awo. Umzimba odla amakhowe nobisi awukwazi ukukhombisa amandla omqondo. Ingqondo esebenza emzimbeni owakhiwe obisini nemifino iba nokunganeliseki, ukucasuka, ukudangala, ukungabi nathemba nokuzwela ebubini bezwe, ngoba ayinawo amandla okubamba nokubusa, okungamandla umzimba onamandla ongawathola.
Ukudla imifino kuqeda izifiso, kuyiqiniso, kodwa akulawuli izifiso. Umzimba uyisilwane kuphela, ingqondo kufanele iwusebenzise njengesilwane. Ekulawuleni isilwane umniniso wayengeke asenze buthaka, kodwa wayezokwenza, ukuze sisisebenzise kakhulu, asigcine sinempilo futhi siqeqeshwe kahle. Okokuqala thola isilwane sakho esiqinile, bese usilawula. Lapho umzimba wesilwane ubuthakathaka ingqondo ayikwazi ukuwubamba ngohlelo lwezinzwa. Labo abaziyo baye beluleka ngokudla imifino kulabo kuphela asebevele banomzimba oqinile, onempilo kanye nobuchopho obuhle obunempilo, futhi-ke, kuphela lapho umfundi engase abe khona kancane kancane ezikhungweni ezinabantu abaningi.
