I have never believed in harvest in the common sense. I do not feel as though I am comfortable leaving such a mess behind, as if I did not have a hand in its creation. Ra mentions that the planet will need to go through a healing phase, not hard to see why.
Thing is, those that want the consumption/destruction to stop are still labeled as extremists or zealots. I feel as if those that are uncomfortable around non conformists are simply comfortable with their apathy.
Well said! Let's just wait for the aliens to rescue us, and not care about the mess we left behind. Are the gurus who were saying aliens would rescue us doing anything for the planet now? Are they reaching out to others, or just getting their ticket, like the Christians who get their ticket to 'heaven'? Reminds me of that Christian preacher who said "We don't need to clean up the planet. Jesus is coming soon so it doesn't matter."
The video summed it up well, except it left out the killing of other humans in all those wars throughout history. And, it should have been in color, with lots of red.

Lusts of the flesh!? LOL! Now that is indeed quite ironic, for obvious reasons.

It would be totally up to you all to make those considerations for yourselves.
Well I suppose another option is to quit trying to analyze Pickle's (or anyone else's) beliefs and motivations.
Yes, that is an option! :idea:

Yes, and you did that with me too. And I told you that you were mistaken about both Pickle and me.

Yes

We can 'discern' all we like. But telling the other person that they believe xyz or are motivated by abc, and basically speaking for them and twisting their words, then insisting we are right when they tell us we're wrong in our assumptions about them...well, that isn't likely to be well received.
(Just some friendly advice out of concern and love. )

I feel so honored to be chosen, along with Pickle, to be reviewed by you.

That's right. No one is going to painstakingly explain ourselves to you.
