BRUH. Trisha Paytas is Vegan. For THE WRONG Reasons.

i've been on this enlightenment
spiritual journey for the past like two months and like it really has helped meditation you know i've been doing everything from like just every religion every meditative source energy spirit guide all that bruh [Music] and has really connected me the most to god [Music] and one of them is ironically unironically to have a plant-based vegan diet to not eat meat [Music] mentally like i just know that's the path i'm meant to be on so all that to say yes i just posted a kfc video [Music] honestly like it made me feel sick like that was like literally poisoning my body right after i think i'm checking and the minute like yeah it's only been a few days or whatever that i'm like vegan or whatever but the the minute i did i felt like i was healing myself and i don't know if it's the krishna yoga i don't know i i don't know i'm telling you right now like fast food is poisonous but i realize i'm like i've been literally feeding myself poison you've got to do real things for real reasons and the problem with religion any religion each and every religion the problem with religion is that it conditions us to do real things for fictional reasons the hindu scriptures are fiction the buddhist sutras are fiction the bible and the quran are works of fiction and if you know people face to face if you care about people it's hard to discourage them when they start improving their own lives when they start doing the right things for the wrong reasons if you know someone who quit smoking because he found jesus or you know someone who quit drinking alcohol because that inspirational dialogue with a buddhist monk and tried meditating for 15 minutes it's hard to take a step back and say to that person it may be your own brother it may be your own father it may be your own sister or mother someone you're close to and say no don't do this because even if it's an improvement now in the short term even if you're making your life better even if you're making your health better if you start doing the right thing for the wrong reasons inevitably it's going to lead to you doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons all these subjective feelings she describes of being so thrilled by her new diet the sense of having a breakthrough and new motivation in our life men feel that when they cheat on their wives and i hate to tell you this it already has been made into a religion it's actually one of the world's oldest and most influential religions taoism oh yeah yeah you know you gotta balance out your yin and your yang older guy sleeping with a younger woman you believe it or not there's like a metaphysical and religious justification for why you feel so good about yourself when you cheat on your wife with the younger woman [Music] you can talk yourself into anything you can talk yourself into believing that you're gonna go to heaven after you die for killing the infidels i'm not really interested in comparing one excuse to another and saying oh that's a better excuse than another i'm not really interested in looking at the hindu reasons for vegetarianism right and comparing them to buddhist reasons and if you didn't know there are some really crazy forms of christianity that also encourage vegetarianism and veganism all right if veganism is something good and important and worthwhile if it's something positive that you should do then you should also do it for the right reasons if sobriety is something important and worthwhile something you want to attain something you want to achieve then you've got to be sober for the right reasons being sober for god it's just as nonsensical as doing any other real thing for the sake of fiction
