Yes, but where do you draw that line Monica?
Is there a divine list made up somewhere that designates certain degrees of 2D that we would acknowledge and others that we do not have to concern ourselves with?
is it only the ones with pretty eyes? pretty fur? pretty feathers?
Do you see what I am pointing to here?
Some of us develop an affinity toward a particular 2D being and in so doing we set our boundaries to include that which we concern ourselves with.
But to try to make that line a designation for every body would be extremely diff cult. Some people have a great distaste for cats and may be more apt to drawing that line beyond including them, and might really like reptiles, and would include them within that designation.
We simply must address the differences and the circumstances of the diversity of the human experience when we try to evaluate these issues of compassion toward 2D.
Or do you suggest that every living being should be offered an exact amount of compassion in every situation anywhere in the world?
This would include plant life and insects and even animals that may be hazardous to the health and welfare of certain communities.
It could also intrude upon religious beliefs.
It is impossible to paint this over with a broad brush without imposing our own views and choices.
