Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Another interesting thing is that both tigers and deer are said to have ultimately evolved from same animal species... yet, one has 'evolved' to *eat* other! It becomes even more interesting in " fish eat fish " realm and in some instances, animals that eat their own offspring!!! In humans [evolved from same animal base] though physical eating of another is not that common... once you read the history of many killings, murders, genocides, wars, slavery, torture as well as greatly more common... EXPLOITATION, cheating and trickery it provides you some interesting facts about BASIC Animal [and human] nature!

Stars eat themselves as do all galactic systems. Gravity is the ultimate feeder and will some day collapse all worlds, and the rub is, is that gravity is of itself nothing but pure geometry. If numbers, those abstractions par excellence,are themselves eating one another in the geometry of life who knows? Maybe it's all harking back to the sacrificing Lambs in food, in fire, in fact. And all the trickster games that our cerebral cortices have devised are nothing more then the Eat/be eaten kneeling and fleeing the Altars of Communion? .....bob > > P.S. ultimately the Final Big Black Hole may be Wholely LIGHT. > > > > > > Nisargadatta , " Arvind " <adithya_comming@> > > wrote: > > > > > > Many things become much simpler to > > > understand if you consider that > > > everything that *exists*... exists in a > > > relative realm!* > > > > > > A stone is strong but can be broken by > > > an iron hammer! > > > > > > A flower is delicate but is strong > > > enough to hold a butterfly! > > > > > > > > > All *bodies* exist in *relationships* > > > to other bodies... > > > > > > A deer becomes food to the tiger and > > > tiger ultimately to the old age, > > > disease, decay, death, vultures and > > > soil... > > > > > > and, almost NO *body* *enjoys* > > > becoming *food* to another body! > > > > > > Deer *struggles* before it becomes > > > food to the tiger and even before deer > > > remain at the constant *lookout* for > > > any *danger*... any approaching Predator! > > > > > > Scientists have conducted experiments > > > and found that once an animal gains > > > awareness of being attacked or > > > killed... its body secrets many usually > > > *painful* hormones!
