When I initially moved towards vegetarian , it was with compassion for the beings (or so I think). However, along the way I developed sensitivity to the smell of meat served on plates. I would frown at it, saying it is smelly and avoid the smell. My attachment to my dislike overwhelmed my compassion for their loss of life.
Is it because of my recent visit to the holy place, Bodhgaya that helps cleanse me that this realisation was evoked? I don't know.
But now when I see beings served on plates again, I had resumed my initial compassion for them and also towards the person ordering the food as I had been or still am like them now.
