Eid al-Adha, Feast of Sacrifice, is a festival in my religion. In lots of sources it is said that existed by the Prophet Ibrahim. He had not got any child. He prays to God for a child and promised to sacrifice it for the name of God. Than God endow him a son, Ishak. While he is preparing him to sacrifice, God sent him a ram to sacrifice it instead of his son in the arms of an angel.
We celebrate it every year. It has three main reasons according to our religion. First of them is sharing the meat with poor people. So social solidarity increases. Second is seeing the flowing blood as a kind of anger satifaction. Because human likes seeing blood as a result of creation. Last reason is remembering the death.
In my opinion, it is very very meaningful and beneficial.
Second is seeing the flowing blood as a kind of anger satifaction. Really? i think most people find it very disgusting not relaxing, and me too.
YanıtlaSilWhile I was studying at High School in Nizip, I was staying in a religious dormitory. I used to have a master who I had been thinking him attained. He told me that about sacrifying an animal and seeing the flowing fervent blood helps us to satisfy our hunger of violence. I didn't believe him and thought just as you do now. I said him " It disturbs me, master. Especially the animals which we fed before sacrifice effects me so much. It makes me sick. Even though I am a male it makes me cry."
YanıtlaSilNow my ideas completely changed. I am observing people about violence and blood. Of course it is my own idea: If you explore the ratings or box office numbers of films and series including violence and blood you can understand what I mean. I wanna expand my theory with examples. As a TV series Spartacus: Blood and Sand (attention for the name plase) became most seen in the countries which it had showed. I don't think that it is necessary to emphasize the name Gladiator The Movie.It includes a lot of blood and won academy awards(one of them is best picture award).
Not only TV programs but also games including violence and death satiated the concerned parents . Just think a moment each 2 of 3 computer user knows and plays with pleasure The Game: Half Life. It is completely based on killing people. You can slice;you can shoot; you can explode your friend into little pieces of flesh and bone. Or at least you can stick your enormous knife into your friends head.
As a conlusion I don't agree with you. In my opinion, human being is the wildest and the most merciless creature ever. Although now we are trying to civilize ourselve but actually we cheat ourselve. If you ask me, It will be the same till eternity. Because we have the most dangerous weapons of nature: combination of mind and freewill. The most pathetic and sad part is that.As an animal there is no chance to choose being wild or not. They created wild or not.We have the chance but unfortunately choose being wild or satisfy ourselve with others pains,blood,death or whatever...
