The
sacred cow of India is a big thing for the people that live in India. It is one
of the most sacred animals that live amongst the people. A photographer
visiting India captured pictures of bony people that were starving nearly to
death while they saw cows around them eating fruits and vegetables being sold
by people in the market place. This shows how much their religion means to
them. They would rather starve to death than to kill a cow and feed themselves.
The cows will rummage through the city, eating all of the fresh fruits and
vegetables in the market place while the people living on the street have to
starve because of lack of money to buy food or clothing. I think this says a
lot about how much we as humans take for granted. We take being fed every day
and having clothes to wear for granted while other people in different
countries do not have clothes, let alone food to feed themselves or their
hungry families. This chapter has made me realize how much I take for granted,
the things that I have or use in my everyday life. It makes me realize how
blessed I am to to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a loving family.
