In regards to eating meat

[3DMonkey]

I'm not trying to claim I am being controlled. My perspectives offered about the subject are in reference to general applications.

Thank you.

"If we just try to change someone, for no good reason, that is control and that's STS." <<== I disagree. I think it is important to understand that it is STS no matter what our subjective reasoning is. This is literally subjective knowing.

I actually agree with you on this. (:exclamation: happy dance! ) ANY action that is motivated by control, is an STS action.

The distinction is that, on the surface, 2 actions may appear the same, but may have different motivations.

"Furthermore, it may even be a service to the oppressor, who might not actually be STS but might just want to be shown an example of compassion. " <<== I find this to be a true example of compassion. If we are serving the oppressor. If we are extending compassion toward the oppressor, then they will witness an act of compassion.

Yipppppeeee! We're on a roll, Monkey! Yes! That's it exactly!

IMO, the only way to get to that level is to accept them and what they choose, and this is the polarizing effect they will bring green ray vibrations to the moment.

The challenge, then, becomes how to simultaneously have compassion for both the oppressed and the oppressor, while answering the call of the oppressed, when sometimes the only way to answer that call is to decline the offer of service by the oppressor, which may entail stopping them from doing whatever they are doing.

Well, at the least, our hearts are in the right place. It's just that we place different actions into that place.

We both want compassion in this world. In regards to eating meat, my compassion is not compromised when I eat it.
