Men often act knowingly against their interest.
I do not knowingly kill any living thing - including insects or rodents - and I thank my food for sustaining me.

For years I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate particularly to places which have amazing wildlife such as Antarctica India and Patagonia.
Without pain there would be no suffering without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right pain and suffering is the key to all windows without it there is no way of life.
