It must be admitted that wisdom, no matter how great, has an end. Not all doubts about the world and life can be completely resolved. Even now, I can only talk about my feelings about "killing and living well", but I never dare to talk nonsense. I have seen through this problem.
When the sword of life and death is in hand, which can decide the fate of other animals, there should not be a person without confusion-even a murderous thug will not completely annihilate his sympathy.
Usually, what people say about killing and living well is aimed at those creatures who can feel pain, and often refers to animals other than human beings. Of course, good living is not a human patent; Other animals may do the same.
The benevolent cannot bear it. Like most people, I often have a contradictory mentality when killing people. On the one hand, I don't want to see the fresh life being ended, and I can't bear to see the pain of animals before they die. On the other hand, we must pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables in the diet, and we can't stand the suffering of long-term fasting.
So the ancients said, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen." However, as long as the food is an animal, it is inevitable to kill-to kill people, and it is killed, but it feels better.
What's more, many people kill people in self-defense or unintentionally. As the saying goes, "To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself." Treating all animals that violate human beings with a kind attitude is asking for it and asking for it. In addition, if you are careful, you should bow your head when you walk, for fear of stepping on moths and ants, and you will live too tired.
Know that the law of the jungle is the law of nature. It is also an indisputable fact that human beings are not purely vegetarian animals. Non-Buddhists don't have to abide by those rules. Therefore, we don't have to be ashamed of killing, but we can't be immoral.
There is a saying in Zhu Xi's family instructions: "Don't bully the widowed, don't kill the birds." There should be no one who can clap his chest and ensure that he has not killed anything. Therefore, many things, if you can't figure it out, just let nature take its course.
Eating more vegetables and less meat is not only a good way of life, but also a way of fitness. Eating meat and fish is beyond reproach, as long as you pay attention to the right amount. However, temperance follows two principles.
First, enough is enough. Benevolent people are far away from killing occupations, with moderate meat and don't want to say much. Second, the food must be ordinary. Livestock raised daily, as well as a large number of aquatic products, are enough to eat after cooking; Besides, there is no need to be insatiable, let alone covet rare game.
In addition to diet, we must adhere to the principle that things don't offend me and I don't hurt my body; Things are dangerous for me, so I can kill people. People who are good at living will not bully, intentionally hurt or kill animals outside their diet; Unless they pose a threat to their health and life, or obviously harm the interests of mankind-of course, this must also be moderate; If the damage to yourself is limited, there is no need to pursue it. For example, after being bitten by a dog, it is too narrow-minded to hate taking his life.
I'm a little confused about the good life, too. Is it necessary to rescue those animals in distress that have nothing to do with themselves? There are too many people who need help. What should I do?
Usually, if a few harmless animals are in distress, I am willing to lend a helping hand to help them out, such as one or two dried fish. However, if too many people need help, I often stand by and watch, such as a large number of snails suffering from drought.
For a gentleman, what he wants all his life may be nothing more than "a clear conscience" and "a clear conscience". Animals are not in distress because of themselves, of course, they are innocent-as for saving and not saving, saving more and saving less, just feel at ease.
It should be noted that people should not be too kind or too kind. If you persist in kindness, you may work hard for your life, but it is difficult to achieve great things.
