RE: Beautiful Photos from a day trip in Kent (Deal)
Yes, we are very far in our approaches.
In nature a carnivore need to initiate violence - otherwise it will die - this is a different story.
I understand your approach but don't agree with it. The way I see it - in a way, you are part of the problem. You see me as part of the problem. so will have to agree to disagree...
By the way, that doesn't mean that I am not up for activism, but activism for me is non-violent.
I choose not to live in fear, I choose to live in love and in my experience I see that it also affects the people around me. You go in to a shop - you smile to the person there, you have a chat - it makes a difference.
Part of the difficulty that I am having is that I must presume without knowing that you are a female and I have to guess at how old you are. I'm not asking; just be aware that these mysteries make it harder for me to express my ideas in a way that makes them accessible to you. I am speaking as a 63 year old man, and we are discussing a topic that (I claim) men and women will naturally see from different angles.
In my opinion, we are not disagreeing. Using my metaphor of the village/hunt, we are conversing about the nature of human life and whether there is a potential for a fundamental change toward peace. You are a woman in the village. I am a hunter/warrior out in the jungle. The village is supposed to be a place of peace; that is purpose of the hunter/warriors, to protect and to provide for the village so that it will be a place of peace and plenty. The hunt, and the battlefield, can never be a place of peace.
As a woman, it is your nature to cooperate with other women to make the village a peaceful and joyful place. As a man, it is my nature to cooperate with other men to protect the village and to provide for it.
This is the pattern of life. It is a pattern that will never change, because it is built into us. Due to the complexity of society today, the relevance of the village/hunt metaphor is not obvious. But if you look with honest eyes, you will see it.
