In regards to eating meat

[Oldern]

Fact of life Monica, we never convince anyone by starting with a full frontal charge.

This, a million times this!
I would love to present some kind of "Feel Good Exchange Sytem" in forums, where one could calculate - just for fun - how much of "good" they did instead of needing to justify the bad or having to regret anything they did/are doing. Regret only imposes karma, and does NOTHING good for us, and therefore, for our society.

I am not saying hurt others and do not regret.
But if you meditate two hours a day, help others around you, AND you eat meat, I will certainly consider you an amazing person. And at the end of the day, who can say what amount of vibrations one needs to rise per serving of food? Half an hour of chanting is enough? Some charity? : D Gotta love the nonlinear nature of spiritual evolution, love it.
