@kevbo “Lucky” as in cause and effect, not “karma.”
My goose was “lucky” that he was rescued by an animal nut and given a great home, not because he willed some sort of karmic destiny to be the one out thousands to not end up on a dinner plate. I called your assumptive claim of ultimate truth in that animals choose their karmic destiny, egoic, because it is. We know no-thing for certain and it is egoic to claim you hold some sort of monopoly on ultimate truth.
I do not believe in cosmic karmic destiny, nor do I believe that animals choose their karma.
I choose to volunteer for a wildlife rescue group and hence, ended up rescuing my goose, had I not volunteered he would have been placed with someone else. Cause and effect, not karma.
I do not believe innocent children choose to be raped and murdered or to be born into abusive families because they choose their karma, or that innocent animals choose to be maimed and mutilated and abused.
What a tidy little ideology to explain away and take no responsibility for ones actions. Pffft!
@cazzie I stand corrected, you are right. I should have said ” most” cows in India are not killed and consumed.
