I certainly value my life, why should other lives not be valued? I would not want harmful treatment to others of other species. Most won’t change from their ways to not contribute to such, I am aware. It is still what would be very well for all of us in general to do. We do not have to contribute to the misery and slaughter of many animals being used, we could be much healthier, and not contribute to more land, water and resources being used with greater waste left, as environments are worsened and many species go extinct with the contribution. I really found tasty meals with this way I have, to continue with, and have been doing very well with it for well over a decade.

      Using Buddhist principles to justify a practice (eating meat) that is fundamentally against Buddhism (eg Gautama Buddha was vegetarian) has to be the worst argument ever.

      If anything belonging to duality is invalid, then congratulations. You have justified absolutely everything and its opposite at the same time.

      Both suicide and not committing suicide can be justified like this. War, Murder, and Genocide, but also why we should eschew them.

      You have cast a net so wide you have managed to say absolutely nothing.

        Ok thanks, you too : You have cast a net so THIN you have managed to say absolutely nothing lol. But Nothing is Already something…For me the Non-Duality is fondamental and that’s why everything else is Bullshit !
        Buddha said Every action is karma ! And from i read he couldn’t explain all the paradox in the world. Why not Mention Shiva or even the Snake ? The “good” can only exist if the “bad” exist (yinyang and duality)… Therefore there is no way to know if what you do is good or not… And most supposed Good Things are actually Bad … Everything is transformation…we are not in Nirvana, we are on earth!!
        Vegetarian ? The Plants on earth, Milk, etc are toxic and that’s why we get sick and old as well.
        Adam and Eve were Vegan, they Ate an Apple and See what Happens lol. Best Regards. Julien
