WHAT I PUT AS 'HEAD LINE ' IS NOT MY OWN THOUGHT (ORIGINAL) BUT WHAT I LEARRNT FROM - GEORGE BERNARD SHAW - i.e FROM HIS BOOK -'MAN AND SUPERMAN'.
EVEN TO DAY, HE IS ONE OF MY MENTOR IN THOUGHTS AND SPIRIT.
THAT LINE , EVEN NOW RINGS IN MY EARS AS MUSICAL NOTE WHERE IT WAS WRITTEN THAT - 'ANIMALS KILL ,ONLY, WHEN THEY ARE HUNGRY BUT MAN TAKES UP KILLING AS A
SPORT (SHOOTING :- MOSTLY WHEN THEY ARE FULL IN THEIR TUMMY )'
THE BOOK IS NOT WITH ME, HERE, TO CORRECT THE QUOTATION BUT THE IMPORT OF THOSE WORDS HAVE STRUCK DEEP IN MY HEART SINCE MY LATE YOUNG LIFE , WHEN I FIRST READ THE BOOK(1950s).
AND G.B.S WAS A KNOWN ATHIEST , A VGETERIAN WITH THE SHARPEST WIT , SO MUCH SO , THAT EVEN GREAT DEBATORS ALWAYS TRIED TO BE OFF HIS WAYS.
