Making Your Entertainment More Rational and Less Selfish

Since we are human animal, I believe, entertainment is

indispensable to make us even more human, more integrated into

the human society. But again, human being is bounded with

rationalism, creativity, problems to be settled, focus and most

of all humanity. From the aforesaid principles; rationalism,

creativities, problems to be settled, focus and humanity, human

shall not be ignorant to even their entertainment, which is one

of the fundamental rights or I would say, the natural rights of

human being. But everything should be in the human context.

The purpose of this essay is to depict an entertainment that I

think are too selfish and too inhuman. This entertainment that I

depict as "too selfish" and "too inhuman" is FISHING. I will

take very simple approaches for our considerations over this

issue, but philosophical, legal grounds will be taken into

accounted.

I claim that I do eat fish and I do like fish to any other

animal, but what I do is necessary, I eat fish so that I can

live (filling my physiological needs, which is the most

fundamental), but I don't entertain my self by killing or

wounding fish, because I don't thing this is a "must", I can

escape from it, and enjoy myself with another kind of

entertainment.

I. One's Life is not just for another's Flashlight Entertainment

Since we are human animal, I believe, entertainment is...

Regarding to the concept of humanity, we will definitely can't

seek any rational to defense that fishing is human-like. I once

heard a phrase "animals are people too". This phrase in a very

simplistic denotation, means that animal do have hurting-sense

and the sense to survive in their own worlds. Many times, after

questioning many people; "what do you like dong?", the answers

are mostly fishing.

The idea of debating (through this article) that fishing is an

inhuman form of entertainment comes after I went fishing with my

immediate relatives. I do not contradict to fishing as

government's business, daily earning of the ordinary people and

fish for the daily protein for human kind, but I strongly

contradict to the idea of fishing as an entertainment.

Entertainment should not be war-like entertainment. I seem to

too irrational and even stupid that just a form of entertainment

of a person kills other lives (just for funs). I see with my own

eyes that people insert the fishing into the fish barbs, those

people feel that the fish do not hurt. Fishing is all about

"killing". In order to kill a fish, another animal's life has to

be killed, which is the worm or any other living creature.

People have choices to make funs, but please and please make

your funs more rational, more beneficial to the good of many,

make your funs be not the grounds for another's misery.

II. Fishing Leads to Easier Violence Commitment

I may trying to debate though this article that fishing is

another kind of violence, the world has experienced too much

trauma, and the most brutal trauma is annihilation. Not body

want this trauma to happen again, but fishing as the form of

entertainment is, I thing, another form of killing living being.

The concept to fell disgust with killing, blood, conflict should

start very young, to make the most fundamental principle (peace)

of the world's biggest family, United Nations be more likely to

achieve.

III. Conclusion

The very basic and jargon that I want to raise again and again

is "living being has the right to existence", and from this we

can draw the analogy that every living being is free from being

slave of another. You are playing with fish's life means that

you are making fish your slave, which is contradict to the

Cambodian, regional, global and international law, but Cambodia,

particularly the schools never teach students about such an

illegal conduct.

I need another debate to prove that "fishing is rational", so it

would proceed my endeavor against "fishing" further.
