No, I am not endorsing unrighteousness. It is not sin to kill for food. You have it completely upside down. There are people who are saintly and there are people who are practical. Life is meant for both.
ok good.
yes it is a sin to kill for food when you have other options available. ask any saint/guru. only when there is no other option then it is not sinful. that's when God gives you a concession.
I do not have it upside down. those so-called practical people are selfish who are enslaved by their taste buds.
Life is meant for everybody including those animals. Its the quality of life that matters. why be a low life?
AFAIK that symbol is for yang and yin...the male and female energy indicating the balance between the two. it does not mean balance between vegetarians and meat-eaters.
This is my view of righteousness. The whole population cannot become completely saintly. It is just not desirable. It is your interpretation that just killing for food also is bad and sinful. That is an extreme stance.
I feel that your view is not right, because your view is inspired by your desire to eat meat may be. It is desirable that the whole population becomes saintly because then everybody will be good to each other even to the animals. The Earth can become Heaven. But i know that is not possible in this age.
The shastras, various saints/Gurus have all said that killing animals for food is a sin when other options are available. so how can this be an extreme stance? you view just doesn't make sense to me.
