Maybe, it is. I still have a lot of to learn on it but it seems how you view suffering would determine much of that. I see the LOA as being just a small part of NL, not the whole. Most of my views on NL come from purely natural observation. Everything that I have seen or studied on it went through hell to attain a higher, more environmentally prepared state of evolution to its current state. The same happens everywhere, it seems, including us. At some point, we should be able to avoid most of that suffering, etc, but not before great suffering has happened. Even if evil were to be eradicated, it would still be there, as memory, and something constantly guarded against, if not outright fought, elsewhere. The self is not the only place suffering, etc, exists and impacts our lives. And yea, breakfast involves plenty of suffering, including my rectum…sometimes…when I actually eat it, which is rarely. ;) You can't get away from suffering, so I expect it and being sentient may reduce it, maybe, but never eliminates it. I may be completely fair, helpful, honest, etc, with my fellow man but he may see it as a slight (suffering) and it's still tied to me, so is it really all that reduced until all see it the same way? There's a lot of open ends in NL, all tied together but the balance requires equality at both extremes to work. Even the Creator has its bad side. Still studying on it everyday, I am, even if I'm just watching worms in the back yard.
Most real anarchist practice some Ortegrity everyday. It still doesn't remove the suffering caused by something, somewhere, to allow that, best I can tell. I can't help but wonder that even if you moved beyond the perceived suffering what did you have to give up to get there and what did that affect? Is that not a "suffering", too? And, no, Earth probably is not my home but it is my current existence and balance is absolutely required in it. Sometimes, I feel like the wiggly eater in the woods with a greater connect physically and spiritually has the greater of gifts compared to the higher knowledge seeker because of the experiences lost in that regard and without those experiences, did one really "grow", as well as one could? There is always something lost in a gain. It seems the path to one's end goal is just as important as the end goal itself. JMHO.
Glad to grin ya there before your nom noms. Considering I just drank a bottle of magnesium citrate, I may stop grinning and start moaning at any moment now.
And this captcha hell is getting annoying as hell.
