The Secret Life of Plants

[Whitefeather]

... the meat thread. And if you are not willing to participate in whole by respecting all the postings, then you are missing a lot of insights.

Diana, what has caused you to write this line to me? Kindly quote me.

Whitefeather, it was because of this post of yours:

"There are wars going on between vegetarians and meat eaters, between vegans and vegetarians, between the blood types diets and the macro-diet. And it goes on and on. There are conflicts between countries, between cultures, between religions and, all for very good reasons and... you know, I am tired of these endless conflicts. As a societal complex we need HARMONY! There is jut not one diet which will fit all! Or one culture or one religion alone for that matter. For us STOs to keep harmony, we need to work together with a greatest variety of ways because each is UNIQUE and with unique requirements."

I felt that if you had read the thread, you would have seen that we were endlessly trying to inform, and discuss, and understand each other's comments and insights--not war. First of all, I don't believe anyone was pushing just one diet for all. I do not see the meat thread as warring, since the people on this site, I would assume, are conscious and want their actions to be conscious.

Diana,

Fortunately, I am free not to participate in all threads on this forum as well as in other forums on the whole internet. This is not disrespectful on my part.
I'd be curious to hear which are the 'lot of insights' you think I am 'missing'.

I don't think I was thinking about the 'eating meat' thread in my comment though it is true that I do not approve of this particular thread you mention and, I believe I expressed it kindly somewhere earlier on page three of the thread.

I know too well the insidious working of the negative polarity to be aware that it is done through violence and suffering conveyed by use of brutal words and brutal imaging. That is when they are not using violence and suffering directly on people.

The meat subject is complex, and triggers emotional responses. If it were all just about the human individual, and what the individual wants, then no other consideration need be addressed. But that is not the case. We are not the only life on this planet.

This comment of yours shows that you misread me and do not know my position on the subject.

...But to compare the thread to the mindless, greedy, unconscious warring and conflict in the general public, is not a fair comment in my opinion.

Again, what made you think I was mentioning the 'eating meat' thread, and not the state of affair and controversies regarding eating and diets in general?
Besides, 'mindless', 'greedy', unconscious warring and conflict in the general public'... Those are YOUR words, Diana, not mine!

The topic of THIS thread is about spreading awareness about the life of plants.
The reference about the other thread was to explain some circumstances to Ruth, though I carefully edited out all brutal words. Words can be weapons, they can hurt and, I didn't want that to happen in this thread.
