The act of eating is a service.

[BrownEye]

Our disagreement is more about the directive to balancing our society.

I am afraid that does not happen with "more of the same".

It takes change. Exactly what change is needed? As it is we are moving towards a self impelled extinction, with those that do not accept this having to go along for the ride. Majority rules you know? Consensus reality?

With this in mind, is balance simply accepting more of the same? Who needs to change? The majority? The minority?

My response to this has always been to use the same perspective paradigm to apply to plants.

How about the application of logic.

Let's say we have a row of plants that start from very small and simple organisms to larger longer lived more complex beings. This row is say............a block long. You can exist on the smaller short lived simple plants, or the older end of life plants, without any impulse whatsoever to eat the rest of the plants in this line.

A person that actually had compassion for these plants, yet had to eat plants to continue their own existence, will obviously eat only the simple short lived, or end of life plants, in order to allow the rest to thrive. The lesser evil.

The idea of having compassion, yet consciously avoiding making the choice of lesser evils, does not include the logic of the intellect.

This logic is what Monica has tried for ever to engage in, yet instead she has already been accused of cognitive distortion. (talk about reflections lol)
