This was good Ugh, I don't want meat anymore...the comparison drove the point right home so well...and even drove home another point, human life = animal life...combined into the context of "To a true darkworker, the life of another human being is as inconsequential as the life of a food animal" and suddenly I'm thinking oh my God, I don't want to eat meat anymore.
This was so helpful and I liked it and it clarified at lot of my confusion. I still don't like the terms, but at least I understand better.
I liked this description, it's helpful: "Most people aren’t polarized when it comes to human beings either. They’ll be kind to some people and apathetic towards others. They’ll verbally support one ideal while contributing to its opposite through their actions. They’ll claim to believe something is wrong (lying, cheating, hurting people, etc) and then do it anyway. They’ve never taken the time to push through to a consistent philosophy about how other human beings should be treated, or if they’ve tried, they don’t believe it strongly enough to actually implement it."
I don't feel like I had a choice between the two, however, in the sense that I feel like I was born this way and I have always been like this as far back as I can remember.
I'd like to know, what kinds of things can a "lightworker" person do to help an "NPC"?
