    我为什么吃素?

        首先要自我批评,我是个懒惰的人,证据之一是半年没有更新日志了。希望从今天开始努力改正一下。
     
        我写下这个标题是有原因有背景的。
        自从2005年11月我开始正式吃素以来,每次新认识一个人,如果碰巧一起吃饭,他或是她往往会问:“你为什么吃素啊?”,有时会在跟上一句:“你是不是信佛?”这样的提问平均大约每个月一次。而我的回答每次不尽相同,因为提问者不同,或时间不同,或地点不同,或我当天的心情不同。
        前不久看冯唐的随笔,(顺便先交代一下,冯唐是个上班做咨询下班码字的人;曾在协和医院已达念过八年医学至妇科博士。)说他有一个以色列的同事在北京做出租,每次都被司机盘问:“你们和巴勒斯坦为什么老掐啊?”那个以色列姐们有她的标准答案,二百字左右,一分钟背完。冯唐深受启发,也如法炮制了一个标准答案并先自己多次练习,以后,每当有人再问他:“你为什么不做医生了?多可惜啊!”,他先抿一口茶,然后用三口气流利地说出答案。大多数人听后随仍觉惋惜但都对其答案表示满意。
        所以,对于“你为什么吃素?”这样一个简单的问题,为了避免每次现场罗列理由的麻烦,现在也决定先写下一个标准答案,也自行先练习背熟,到需要时即可拿来即用了。
        其实我吃素的原因有若干条,按照中国人最习惯的“三”项概括法则,只做三条,现抄录如下。
        “我从2005年底开始吃素,主要有三个原因:一是当时看了几个屠宰猪,牛的视频,见其死前恐惧之情,于心不忍;二是看了一些佛学文章,佛法讲众生平等,动物也是众生,所以也不忍;三是目前肉类食品安全问题非常严重,素食至少对健康有好处。”
     
        看到我这个答案的以后自不必问,没看到的,就等我下次背给你听吧,我背上面这段话大约用25秒。
        阿弥陀佛!
