In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

I invite you to re-read Pablisimo's post about putting a firecracker in a frog's mouth and blowing it up, then trying to "radiate light" to the frog.

Sure, radiate light to the frog. But why blow it up in the first place?

Not sure how that fits into this discussion here.

It fits this way: Serve meat at dinner: factory farmed cow who has suffered in a feed lot and slaughtered while terrified; or veal, a baby cow forced to stay in a tiny space unable to move to fatten it up and then it's slaughtered while terrified; or many other examples of cruelty. Then radiate love to the dead animal, or to your family at dinner.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with the love anyone feels for their family, or that there is anything wrong with sending love to the animal who gave its life to be food. I am not saying that ANYTHING is wrong.

I am saying we can make better choices, on so many levels, for so many reasons. But I do also respect free will. I can hope can't I, no matter how unevolved that is, that we as a race, humans, could live in this world in more harmony with all beings including the Earth itself?
