I'M GETTING GOOD AT THIS

   As I read through my second question, I felt confused. It felt more like a poem than questions. These questions were questions that I couldn't answer because I didn't know what they meant. For instance, one line states, "Is that meat on your plate?" I asked myself what exactly could meat be of reference. Was the meat raw or cooked? Rare or well done? I also stopped myself when I saw the word ahimsa. I recognize that word but didn't know its exact definition. At that moment, I searched the word ahimsa on google and found this definition according to Oxford definition, "(in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jainist tradition) respect for all living things and avoidance of violence toward others." What I took from that sentence is ahimsa is peace, and being a good person. As I was reading, I was imagining pictures in my head as a form of habit. That didn't work too well because there were many random and different activities happening. I am asked if we should line up at the barbeque when I was asked a phrase ago if I had meat on my plate. I am also told to look into Ashoka's diet. I had no idea who Ashoka was, but I researched and found not only his diet but his history and how he was king. (posted in key interests: history page) It also told me to read my Michael Pollan. I had no idea who this man was so, I searched, who is Michael Pollan? Wikipedia tells me, "...author and journalist, who is currently the Knight Professor of Science and Environmental Journalism at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism." I saw the books he's written, and they all have to do with something about plants and food.
