People from other cultures who revere cows must feel the same way about beef as we feel about eating dogs.

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?
