I do not kill plants to eat them.
yes i do eat vegetabiles but i do not grow them my self. Even Buddha said plants can be eaten.
The worsed we can kill is animals. birds, but ofcourse even eating plants does acumulate karma
Hmmm. So find no harm if you employ hired assassins to kill
for you?
in the event, grow them or not, your veggies are alive.
We wont go into "accumulate karma".
Though it must be bad, for baleen whales, slurping
down tons of krill.
I buy the food in supermarked, where everything is already dead. If it was possible i woud ofcourse not eat that food too, but unfortunatly we must live of some food
I am hearing, "I love you more than they do", but I do not believe that love comes in degrees. You either love someone or something or you don't.
Am I way off track again?
Unconditional love is not physical love it is a form of compassion toward all living beings

It is already dead IF IT IS COOKED OR
FROZEN. Or otherwise processed.
All the fresh veggies, the seeds and nuts,
the fruit are alive.
Put a carrot in some dirt with water,
watch it grow.
A leaf of lettuce is alive.
You did not address the hired assassin
bit.
You like a person first it then becomes love as you know them more. There is also unconditional love for some people but not for others.
Uhhh...not sure The Buddha ever said not to eat meat...
Hmm. I am such an expert on love, so-
Of course this is personal, not presented
as a universal.
I have had two boyfriends. I thought this was
love, with the first one. Now I know it was not.
Second one, love was like the dawn coming up, it
was not all at once, all or nothing. I was scared
of it, letting myself love or letting him close.
It has grown and deeped the whole time, even when
I was not ready to admit it to mydelf that he had
found his way over under around and through every
every barrier.
So to me, love grows, I hope so much that ours never stops
growing.
You love a person and you find out bad things about them and so start disliking them, right?Not trying to argue, but it could happen the other way, as well.
Buddha said not to kill animals to get meat, and not to have others kill for you directly.
But the meat in it self is not wrong to eat since the meat is not alive anymore. But there wil always be a moral issue on this topic
Maybe to those that tend to nitpick. A dead cow is a dead cow. Being eaten allows that cow to have purpose in life.

I can only give my understanding of the topic others my see things different then i do
I do not hire anyone to do any dirty work for me personally. In the world today food are not prodused as it was done before. as far as my understanding goes of the act of eating food that was harested to make meals, that as long he food was not intentionally killed to me in person we are allowed to et it, but i can not go to a farm and ask for an animal to be killed so i can get meat to eat. that would be very wrong action to do and i would suffer a lot of karma.
When i buy food in the store, someone has prosessed it yes, but not with any spesial person in mind. so it would not be wrog to eat it.
I do not buy vegetabiles that still are in soil.
The seeds is ot eaten,
Yes you can always find fault in my living too, i am not perfect, but i do my best to never harm ny living being

That is very profound.Once you allow yourself to unconditionally love someone you will always love that person no matter what. However, it is possible that the person could do something you don't like, even to the point of not being able to stay with that person.
That is very profound.
