[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

Yeah, but I think that some things remain pretty consistent across the board.  I can't imagine how enslaving beings can ever be a manifestation of compassion and love.  To think otherwise simply boggles my mind and runs counter to everything I think love is.  Where I get stuck is that I recognize the importance of adversity and hardship in the evolutionary process, but in my view, what has happened and continues to happen on this planet is a bastardization of that process and it has way overstepped the boundaries. 

Earlier in this thread I asked Why is the Creator hurting Itself?, that's my perception of it.

This planet is/was a mistake, there I said it.  

Or, to put it more positively, the world is out of tune (like an instrument), and for it play beautifully and harmoniously, it needs to be tuned appropriately, so that all notes are in their rightful place.  The world is sound, with the current song being played being one of chaos and disharmony.  It is a matter of rearranging the notes that have been played on this planet since its conception, so that each note compliments and builds off of it's previous one.  The song may be sad and melancholy when complete, but it will be beautiful none the less.  I can't wait to hear it.

I do think it is fine and well, and it may bear more fruits than a more harmonious world that many would've wished to see along the way.
