Even trees fight

Date: July 17, 2012 02:02AM I notice that the ideal of most of the raw foodists is to live peacefully. Nothing wrong with that. We all (or most of us) want peaceful living. But, even that 'peaceful' life is full of struggles and, yes, a lot of fight. Would you fight for the girl/man you love? Most of the people would answer 'yes'. Under certain circustances, most of the men on this forum would use firearms to defend or even attack. I will not even mention numerous scenarios. How about a bar fight? Ok, not many fights in raw foods resaurants, but if somebody caused trouble, I KNOW that most raw foodists would answer accordingly. Even the most 'meditative' ones.
Each of you gentle ladies who like running has killed thousands of ants in their lives. Not to mention smaller, hardly visible or invisible creatures. Like it or not, just by being yourself, you KILL every day. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is UNAVOIDABLE. Creator made us this way. We have no choice. We disturb whole societies just by our mere existance. We destroy life with every breath we take, every move we make. Can't stop that. What's my point? I don't think I should fit my life into a set of ideological rules. I eat the way I eat because I HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THAT. I think that we should preserve nature because IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO DESTROY IT. I am trying to learn who I am. That's all. Re: Even trees fight

I believe that most of us on this forum are, rather than living by those 'ideological rules' you spoke of that represents our culture, and that many follow blindly. I also prefer to live a peaceful life, as far as I can. And yes, I believe it's an Ideal, but one that I have chosen, though tempered by my idea of balance. And is the reason why I don't walk around breathing through a dust mask in case I accidently breath in an insect and kill it........ Re: Even trees fight

cuz they are overjoyed to do so so full of sap some of them are mightily they must do something with all that energy so they joust about rattling their branches and digging their claws into the dirt sipping as much qi as possible so they can sing some more clap their leaves and shout as they unfurl their pugilistic nature to the stars Re: Even trees fight

...still, trees are fighters too. They fight for sunlight, for soil. They fight insects and animals. Trees are really tough. When you cut a tree, chances are you are cutting a hero. Re: Even trees fight

Roust a bowsters! Well so you say - they bark too but what, I ask is at the root of their thinking? you think they have their heads in the air? It leaves much to the imagination. Have they branched off into a splinter group? Or maybe they're A chip off the old block. And by the way la Veronique the things you say I always read and I am never disappointed. You're thoughts - they never lumber! Re: Even trees fight

Thanks! Tamukha, thanks! I really appreciate good words from you as I have a lot of respect for you. A lot of people here have, let me use the old expression, 'good vibes'. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/18/2012 04:10AM by rab. Re: Even trees fight

<<...still, trees are fighters too>> oh heck yaa!! they BETTER be! cuz everyone wants a piece of their action what with mangoes, papayas, pineapples, guavas, and apples all swayin off their branches they BETTER get their fighting ON! or they'll end up naked all the time and that's indecent they have to fight to be fully clothed and they also have to fight to keep all their limbs and torso and well... its worth fighting for and uhh... sometimes i fight with them and i win and i get an orange for a reward and i say to the tree " hey mister... it was a good duel.. too bad you can't move as well as I because if you could, you would have DEFINITELY won" and since mr. tree was a good sport i gave him some water he appreciated it we are best buds!
