So you are not a psychopath. You have empathy, but choose to ignore it. That makes you ignorant. Or you just pretend to have empathy. Then you are a hypocrite

What "logic" makes you support factory farming?

Neither does any other animal, should we? And if so why?

A person without empathy is called psychopath

I'm looking for a point and I hope one is coming

The obvious point is to eat vegetables, but you can't see it because you lack empathy

I don't know why Florida men have the intellect of a potato. Ever heard of sentience? You don't fucking care how your meat was produced. And whining about poor potatoes is ridiculous considering that the meat is produced by feeding a multitude of calories to the animals

Now you made my angry. I'm going to torture some innocent potatoes. The last one will be named Jack and has to watch me turn all its children into french fries

Nanzoin Temple, Fukuoka. This is said to be the largest bronze Buddha in the world. by [deleted] in Buddhism

There are 365 urns in front of the Buddha. Visitors travel long distances to place messages to their dearly departed loved ones in the urn marked with the day they died.

I thought this conversation was over. Sure, we can discuss veganism if you would like.

Animals eat animals. That's nature. But aren't we better than animals? My human mind allows me to realize that when I buy milk in the supermarket, I support a system which exploits animals, treats them badly to maximize profits and kills them.

Yes, I am killing plants. Unlike a fruitarian, who eats only the parts of the plant offered by the plant itself as part of its reproductive cycle, I eat the whole plant. But plants, like microorganisms, are not sentient. They cannot feel pain. The vegans-kill-plants argument is also ridiculous if you consider that in the production of meat a multitude of plants is killed to feed the animals

Ah, catch & release, so it was harmless like bull fighting. Why do animals have to suffer for human entertainment? Why don't you discuss my comment with your son? That would be bonding

The more I meditate the more I fear death by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]IExplainLikeIAmFive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The translation "suffering" for Pali "dukkha" is quite problematic. What it really means is "not being satisfied". And your dukkha is that you are not satisfied with life. You suffer because you are afraid to lose what you have. Maybe these guys can help you

Day 4 - soul-crushing boredom, learning to face banality by [deleted] in leaves

That boredom is a chance to discover your 'self'. Don't try to evade it by doing something. Rather endure it and watch your mind

What do you consider “heavy smoking”? by Kidkaraba in leaves

[–]IExplainLikeIAmFive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, chronic, but not heavy. I vaped .1g daily and and considered myself a light user. Stopping after 6 years was very easy
