Vegans : some questions for you !!

[xise]

Cruelty is not an STS trait. The STS concept presented in the Ra Material makes no mention of cruelty, free association and wishful substitution will make it seem so though.

19.17 Questioner: Can you tell me what bias creates their momentum toward the chosen path of service to self?

Ra: I am Ra. We can speak only in metaphor. Some love the light. Some love the darkness. It is a matter of the unique and infinitely various Creator choosing and playing among its experiences as a child upon a picnic. Some enjoy the picnic and find the sun beautiful, the food delicious, the games refreshing, and glow with the joy of creation. Some find the night delicious, their picnic being pain, difficulty, sufferings of others, and the examination of the perversities of nature. These enjoy a different picnic.

All these experiences are available. It is free will of each entity which chooses the form of play, the form of pleasure.

cru·el·ty noun \ˈkrü(-ə)l-tē\

: a desire to cause others to suffer : the quality or state of being cruel

: actions that cause suffering

: an act or occurrence that causes suffering

Fang, is it really that hard to understand why someone might think cruelty is an STS trait (regardless of whether the notion is true or not)? Do you really think it's only free association that can lead one to conclude cruelty may be more associated with STS than STO philosophy?


I know everyone can use any given word, such as cruelty, and mean something different than how another might use the word. However, given the dictionary definition of cruelty, it doesn't seem to be out of left field if someone says that they feel that cruelty is compatible with STS philosophy and not compatible with STO philosophy.
