However, i (as separate entity) am not even existing... what you are objecting to is "a perception of me" as exists "in your own head." Please do understand that you have created in your mind an entity "Tim" and endowed that entity with certain "permanent qualities" due to ignorance of the fact that ego and personality are entirely imaginary and nonexistent. > Like today when you completely did not address the issue of degrees > of killing. You seem to equate killing an ant with killing a cow. Killing is killing. The "spirit" of killing is what seems important. For example, taking two situations: (1) A man is starving to death, and the only choice is to kill a cow in order to live, or simply to die of starvation -- so the man kills the cow. (2) A man stomps and kills an ant for the pleasure of watching the ant struggle (torso separated from head), and then die. So in the two examples above, which sounds "worse?" And why does "the size of the animal" matter? Where does one draw the line? So to conclude, Alton: >So why even have a dialog with you. Please, don't bother -- i like to dialogue with those who are intelligent and open-minded (not gullible), and possessing of at least a little wisdom ("spiritual" or "worldly" -- i don't distinguish). "Love" is only real when unconditional (not based on conditions). Since i can find that in close relatives, and in a close pet ('my cat' Penelope), don't bother with this false, manipulative nonsense you have been calling "love" on this list. i am not fooled in the slightest. Thanks for the consideration... now, on to more interesting topics. Namaste, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
