To eat an animal is to cause suffering, if we can survive without the eating of animals it makes sense to do so as this creates less suffering. That being said i still have my limits as i eat dairy and i understand a lot of suffering happens to animals through dairy products as well but for the time being this is my way.
I think that we can philosophise anything to justify almost any desire or action, but this can often miss the core lesson of this density which is compassion. Before we move onto the insight of wisdom i believe we should be well awakened in the heart.
But then would you describe suffering as a meaningless experience, or can it be seen as having value?
Say that mini-creator #7777393027 was born into a 3D world as a 2D entity that was caused suffering by the 3D individuals, along it's path it came to see the experience as useful and that it has shaped itself in a way that he wouldn't wish otherwise.
Were those who created the experience wrong? Or were they right?
How could mini-creator #whatever have known without first experiencing it?
