Emperor Palpatine, Could you perhaps re-word your thoughts so that I might have a clearer understanding of what you are trying to say? It seems as if you are saying that I am not seeing a distinction between man's actions and those of animals. It also seems that you are saying that perhaps I am falsely giving animals a "get out of jail free card" simply because they are animals, and that maybe they should be held accountable in the same regards that we are held accountable.
Interesting we are very similar to some species of ants. They wage war, occupy land that isn't their own, take prisoners, enslave other ants. Now do they enjoy all this? Being unable to communicate with ants the best one could say is we don't know for sure. Do all humans enjoy such activity? I would say no. However, mutations occur as with all living things and some of these mutants find pleasure in the suffering of others, to varying degrees. Therefore I would conclude since all living things are part of an evolutionary process and all living things are subject to mutations, some of these ants may in fact enjoy the pain they're inflicting. http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscience/2009/04/01/the-rebellion-of-the-ant-slaves/
Imo â more artificial divisions Also the way I interpret your comment â you sound as if humans are somehow superior If soâ¦. What other creature ostracizes another of their herd/ flock/ clan â simply because the color of their hide, fur, wings may be different What other creature move so quickly to judge their fellow member(s) â then label them by nothing more than made up terms RN
I respect it is not something you are willing to talk about at the moment, but if you decide to change your mind at any point, I, for one, think this could make for some VERY interesting reading, and that it could also turn out to be beneficial for others.
Itâs a privilege to speak with people to who have put forth the effort - who have reached within and are willing to intelligently converse such a profound subject. We live in a lazy drive-thru society in which many just donât even bother to ask the questions, however they are often willing to answer Your questions in a similar manner, without depth and in accordance to how they feel at that particular moment. You just donât get instant gratification from in-depth thought. The gratification can only come from a challenging and sustained journey. Many our fellow fish swimming around in this bowl-of-an-earth are merely skimming the surface, biding time for the instant gratification that falls with each flake of food dropped in front of their mouths. They just eat it up. Then there are the bottom feeders- you know- the ones who are down in the bowels of the tank, waiting for shit to be dropped. They feed off of it. Neither know true hunger. To know true hunger is to be blessed with the ability to swim deeper waters, searching and toiling for nourishment of spirit wherein the gratification comes at the end of a laborious journey- That said, it must be also noted that our ocean would be not near the beauty it is without our friends who take the easy food at the surface and at the bottom. For it is they who unknowingly and unintentionally carry the potential to be the best of instructors. Observing their patterns indeed make brilliantly apparent our own spiritâs hunger pangs, and provoke the need to explore the full volume of our ocean,â¦hence the true beauty of our cohabitation.
Since the above was taken out of context by hoof, I have to take it with a grain of salt that it's representative. I don't consider myself superstitious and don't scare easily at all. As a matter of fact I didn't believe until after the encounter. About all I feel comfortable with is sharing that, I once encountered an entity that had me frozen in terror. I suppose the best description in common terms would be a real life "Dementor", <iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VKhEFVAoScI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> btw : the encounter was way before Harry Potter I also , one time was asleep and awakened suddenly and without needing to move any muscle at all except moving my eyes slightly, I noticed the luminous clock numbers read 3:00 am. Curiously I continued to stare at the clock (and not being able to see anything else in the pitch black), wondering what was going on. The clock struck 3:01 at precisely the time an Earthquake struck.
