[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 150759, member: 12855"] [FONT=Verdana]Much of what you are saying is purely semantics. The processes shown by a plant is indicative of its 'desire' to survive. All biological processes have developed to survive whether that be respiration or photosynthesis, growth and reproduction in all its forms, movement in all its forms whether vertical or longitudinal. The word desire can have a very broad meaning. Humans are separate to all other life forms due to our consciousness. Saying animals are on the same plane but plants are not worthy of that status is the egotistical attitude and arises from the oevr reliance on our senses-we can see and experience animal life more easily, we can hear animal screams more easily so this leads to the premise that animals are more important. All of life is just chemical reactions! Our ability to see is due to dozens of reactions, our ability todigest food is a load of chemical reactions etc. Research shows that plants react to a lot more in the environment than we realise. Assuming a plant cannot sense just because we are unable to perceive it is the egotistical attitude. As far as the difference between supermarket meat and butcher meat goes, the distinction drawn between them still seems a little selfish and immature to me as if there was no demand the supermarkets would not stock meat. By buying supermarket meat or products containing meat related products, one is still supporting the killing-allowing and encouraging it to happen. Market forces dictate only those things will be prodiced that can sell!! To ignore this is living in a cocoon world. BhagatSingh, no I do not know the whole truth-I never can as I am merely human. I will never have such a high opinion of myself. However, I strongly believe that the SGGS tells me the truth. As much as I respect the Buddha's words or any other wise person, it comes down to the Guru's words being my guide as that means more to me than anything else as it makes more sense to me than anything else. My Guru tells me that abstainign from meat alone will not make me more spiritual.
