Once upon a time, there was a mystical place known as 'NarHia'. In this place, lived many different kinds of animals. From The Egoistic, Ferocious Tiger to the obnoxious, egocentric Bitch - this land was filled with surprises of many different kinds, including stupid ones.
One day, the animals decided that they want to have a chalet. All seemed to be agreeable, other than Tiger and Snake. The Snake, being the main character of the previous chalet's 'The Saga of the Cat', was forced to, in what humans call it, 'Say sorry to a cat'. (Imagine a human being made to say 'sorry' to a cat by another human being, like wtf??!!??.....anyway...interested parties can feel free to approach 'ZION The Storyteller'...I'm sure he would very much like to share the wonderful story)
One day, Tiger was drawn to this particular notice about the chalet. It looked like the organiser of the chalet was concerned about the mutil-racial and multi-religious nature of 'NarHia' and had decided to, hopefully, make some accomodations to the different animals.
Part of the notice went something like this:
'For those who are buddhists, do you guys eat beef? If not we can make some aggranements.'
Looking at this, Tiger decided to make a clarification with the organiser. Tiger proceeded to reply to the notice saying:
'Buddhists don't eat meat. Only Taoists pratise abstinence from eating beef.'
Bitch, receiving the reply too when Tiger had purposely 'Reply All' to that notice, did not seem to be quite satisfied with Tiger's reply and gave Tiger her reply that went like this:
'just to correct u on ur thoughts. i m a buddhist and there are many buddhists who choose not to take beef. Buddhists have the choice to be vegetarians or just abstain from beef. Taoists have no such restrictions. pls get these right, thanks.'
Author's note:
Some people, like Bitch, like to think that they know a lot. When Tiger decided to confront them, Bitch was quick to jump into a pool of shit trying to put up a fight with Tiger. Bitch thought that she really was able and fit to 'correct Tiger on his thoughts'.
One of the five precepts of Buddhist teachings is 'Do not kill'.
It was said that one must not deliberately kill any living creatures, either by committing the act oneself, instructing others to kill, or approving of or participating in act of killing. It is a respect to others' lives. One should not deprive others (animals included) of the right to live.
According to this, consumption of meat likely falls into the category of approving the killing of animals. So, do buddhists really have a choice to just abstain from beef, or was that just a choice that Bitch thought she could have?
On the other hand, Taoists abstain from beef and have many guidelines regarding their diet. They have many festivals and practices that include the 7th month and burning of joss sticks and joss paper.
Bitch should have gotten her facts right before confronting Tiger with her bullshit. Just because 'i m a buddhist' doesn't mean that what you think is true. Practice doesn't make perfect, practicing the right thing does. You should have known better than to challenge Tiger and to 'just to correct u on ur thoughts'.
Tiger says 'correct ki lan' and as what ZION says...Do you know what ..l.. means?...
F**K YOU UNDERSTAND!
