Which is why I asked you to define it precisely - the world is a complex place and “Ethics” is one of those woolly concepts which sound all very “moral” but is less so when you examine the “Rules” which one who professes to possess that “virtuous” trait sets for themselves (And usually for others)
Let us proceed ;
All noble stuff but ;
If you won’t compete, others will take away anything you manage to temporarily achieve - whether that be a job, money, land or a partner. You may feel yourself to be “Virtuous” but are bound to be regarded by others as a “Wimp” - a “fool” - an “Easy touch” - or a “Mug” - depending on the outlook of the “Other”.
You WILL be “competing” - but you will be LOSING every sngle competition - a sign of the acceptance of which we see here :
Ok let’s take a look at “Veganism” - sounds good doesn’t it ? I was on a forum about 20 years ago founded on the principles of “ethical food production” and one of our contributors was a farmer’s wife from East Anglia - who explained that in order to produce quality Vegetables, they had to “Control” Rabbits - by gassing them in their hundreds in their burrows, Deer - by shooting 10 or more per year of them, iWild Boar by shooting whenever they appeared. Pigeons by shooting hundred if not thousands per year.
Then of course there were countless thousands of insects which had to be “Controlled” by spraying the crops with pesticides And by the introductions of Nematode worms or Ichneuman wasps which eat the insect alive from inside the insect’s own body !
All of which the “Evangelising Vegans” conveniently refuse to acknowledge !
It soon became apparent that “Veganism” is responsible for far more death and suffering than any meat eater could be ! - But nay you say “Do not enter the Butchery trade !”
I believe it is true that plants and trees actually scream when cut down - and it is certainly true that Broccoli for example should be cut into pieces a few hours before being cooked as this increases the “Detox qulities of the plant” - because the body of the plant which is still alive though hugely damged - produces poisons when cut to prevent the infestation of the cut by yeasts and funghi - this poison then when eaten by humans is the chemical part of the broccoli which is responsible for its “Detox” property !
You say “no harm” yet when you are ill do you go to the doctor ? do you take the poisons she gives you to kill the bacteria or virusses or the funghi or yeast creams to kill the itchy places ? do you use flea powders ? do you use poisons to kill lice in the childrens hair ? How do you get rid of rats ?
And on and on and on !
Bear in mind too that it may be acceptabe to YOU to let others abuse you - but if you eventualy get married and / or have children, will you then let others abuse THEM ? - which will harm THEM - or will you compete and defend them ? and if so how ?
Please do consider these things and then reconsider your version of “Ethical” - And if you’re going to get out of bed in the morning at all - Do yourself the huge favour of loving yourself and your potential family MORE than you do your neighbours and some random “competitor” whom you have never met !
Hope this helps
