This is why I'm bringing up Indian culture where the cow worship is pretty wellknown.
For them, again, cows are sacred beasts. Basically a living deity so whether you agree or not about the deity or existence of Gods you can't disagree that cows exist.
So from there I'm attempting to conceptualize how Indians feel towards Cows (worship of deity) and see if it's similar to how I feel about my pet dog.
At least that's what I took from the post.
Yes, I think your comment captures my showerthought. It was an excercize in empathy. I do realize that the love for a sacred animal is significantly more profound than the way I feel about my dog. That being said, I do have respect and love for my dear canine companion, which causes an inhibition for eating him.
Mmm I see I see. I don't personally agree but I agree when looking at it from your perspective.
I did a bit of a dive for it in a different comment but for me I do not share that love for sacred thing that you do which generated some interesting discussion. All around I'd say discussion mission was successful
It was just a showerthought, but this platform turned it into an interesting discussion. How amazing.
I have read that it is important to create content for Lemmy, in order to feed it. This has been my first post, I think. Better to get it done than put it off. I am glad people have been able to discuss.
I'm really glad as well.
One, I didn't allow myself to just be an argumentative commenter which is a struggle some days.
Two, it was great getting to discuss things with people. Different experiences different walks of life. I'm almost envious of some of what I learned wanting to feel it for myself y'know?
