The most common act of violence I observe is what comes out of people's mouths. (Mine included) I find it humorous you have no reaction to the shooting but you have a reaction to people eating chicken. I don't mean that as sarcasm; it really does make me laugh. From a subjective reality point of view all events are neutral; so it wouldn't matter if I'm chomping on a cow, a chicken or a child. What does it matter if something has a mother from the SR point of view?

From the highest level of perspective, nothing it good or bad - everything is neutral.

It is easy to understand it intellectually, but I wonder how I would hold that position if it were my own child getting killed (or eaten at a KFC). I often pose this question to myself and others. If you truly hold it whether it is you, or a loved one, or a stranger then you have arrived at that state before duality. But you will be a 'social outcast' for it. But from that perspective it wouldn't matter.
