In regards to eating meat

[Oldern]

Monica, may I ask you what "those" meat eaters have to do with vegetarians....at all?

Because I have been bluntly terrified at this whole thread for days, seeing that no matter what spiritual evolution we are going through, one can still easily find one more concept that creates separation, not unification. Because whenever I see lengthy posts, directed at each other, dissecting opinions point-by-point, always countering, always rectifying each and every single statament, I get "scared". (Not really scared, of course, but mildly confused)

Now, I am not judging, and that is the hardest part. Everyone who feels like they need to get this argument out of their systems should feel free to do so, but my two cents to this matter is that the "not this OR that - this AND that" philosophy ALWAYS applies to everything, and therefore, no topic is immune to it. Not a single topic. Not even vegetarianism.

So my point: I do not care who validates what I do. With anything! Yes, it can be lonely sometimes. It can be sad sometimes. But when I keep up doing what I am doing, I end up at a point or a place in time/space where suddenly, I am around people that finally accept what I do because I allowed myself to do so. And that is Bring4th when it comes to spirituality. I do not see why things should be different for vegetarians (unless they want it to be different.). And I can guarantee one thing: the more confrontational one is when it comes to dietary choices, the more walls one will run into. Guaranteed. It is the very fabric of our existence.

Drop the shields first. Drop it, even if you are only bashing out to the attackers. That is the only way to really stop a fight : D
