Holy Cows

So in India, cows are considered holy.

They are often used for farming and are well fed. Furthermore, their milk as a staple component in the Indian diet. From their milk Indians make curd (yogurt), cheese (called Paneer), butter and ghee (whipped butter!). 

A 40-seater bus will hoot at everything in front of it. It will pretty much plow through other cars, swerve slightly for a tuk-tuk, slow and drive around passengers, and literally stop for a cow.

Supposedly they are treated like Gods. Except when it comes to roaming cows in the cities, where food is not so abundant. Cows literally roam the streets eating the rubbish that collects everywhere.

I have noticed that people will go out of their way not to harm a cow, but won't stop for a minute to feed a cow.

I see this as a literal example of how many people treat their beliefs around the world. Many people, from various beliefs, will avoid committing "sins" as described by their faith, but are rarely seen acting out the "goodness" that their faith encourage.

Just an observation.
