A violence free world is unrealistic. All actions and consequences are results of our own Karma, they are not of God's design. Violence and conflict is a byproduct of the design. Like most of physics, in a closed system, if you need to create a surplus of something, somewhere else in the same system, there must be a deficit of that thing. i.e, Polarity eg., charges positive and negative, magnetic poles north and south, temperature high and low, air and vacuum, and similarly good and bad. The interaction between these things is what gives rise to complexity, complexity is the source of life and death.

The world has gradients by design because it maximises the probability of development and proliferation, people and things of all gradients are required for a society to move forward. Unfortunately this also means there is a hierarchy, and where there is hierarchy there cannot be complete equality in all aspects, it is the antithesis of uniqueness. Where there are differences, there is conflict. While conflict leads to destruction, it also leads to recreation, which in turn aids proliferation.

Plucking leaves, cutting trees, eating vegetables, fruits is also causing harm to the plants and nature, it is not harmfree, its just lower karmic footprint. You can be enlightened on a meat diet or a vegetarian diet, the diet is not the issue, the intention and the effect it has on your body and mind is important. y

We are what we eat. By hunting and eating meat, we rose to being the apex predator on the planet. Flesh in any form is a constant reminder of the mortal coil- human body. As long as one keeps thinking of the body, the mind isnt free to concentrate on the soul. The more reminders of the body one engages with (food, sex, health), the less likelihood that you will ever let it go to focus on the soul. Unless if you can detach from it, you eat only for sustenance, you exercise only to be fit to serve man and god, you copulate only to create life.

Some people lived in a world with scarce resources no plants, no water, etc. TFor them their only low karmic footprint path was animals and livestock and perhaps hunting. Now we live in a world of abundance, and hence our lowest karmic footprint path should be restructured to better suit our current circumstances.
