@PrepperCanadian Even if the worst case scenario comes to pass, do you think prepping so as to live in a zombie apocalyptic world is really a worthwhile goal?
@TheSaltCultist@cirnosad If in the hope of engaging in a future virtue you commit massive ill virtue today then that is not a path. There is no guarantee that your ill virtue today won’t frame your mind to more ill virtue tomorrow. Survival in the apocalypse comes with great costs.
@TheSaltCultist@cirnosad There’s a limit to how much u can prepare. Once supplies run out it’s a bloodbath. Why go there? If the whole pt of this life becomes to eat each other, then a short life of virtue is better than a long wicked life.
@JeffreyKotyk As long as you hv the four reliance’s and the shastras you’re good to go. Applying documentary hypothesis like methods to sutra is probably not the way to go.
@shae1725@AlcieToo@piersmorgan@allenanalysis A war always guarantees a future war. The Palests did not cause WW2 and 1948 but thru interdependence became the recipients of state violence like Pacific Islanders losing their islands b/c of climate change they didn’t cause.Interdependence, like water, always finds its level.
@QolaTem Not really. Ashenda has events of an agricultural festival which comes after a very difficult fasting period known as Felsata. And the joy expressed only makes sense in the context of the seasons changing, and emerging from a difficult fast. Or else it is just 🎸 rock and roll
@NegedeYehuda And why would one rejoice while being persecuted? If it is to imitate Christ, it does not seem he rejoiced in his persecution. Neither was he angry abt it. So how can rejoicing in one’s persecution bring a Christ like redemption when the Lord himself was far from this sentiment?
@NegedeYehuda The resident Ger (convert) eventually becomes part of the nation in ancient Israel. So in effect, the idea of genetic descent becomes almost moot.
