GULP. That's real _hard_ to decide. I have to try to understand
what it means for a start. Do I need to do anything anyway? Why
do I want to do it? Am I judging someone? Am I entitled to if
they judge me? The other side if this is "don't do what is not
necessary." This may be a teeny bit easier, but not much. No
wonder people flee to the Himalayas, go into monasteries,
convents, hermitages, etc.
Some things are simple, but all, IMO, depend upon an "if". I
cannot understand why we should want to kill to eat. Is it
necessary? Not so far as I can tell, although I have only been a
vegetarian for about five years so far, and it doesn't stop
animal slaughter. The "if" part is whether I find killing
animals for food acceptable. I don't, so I don't eat them.
Others do, so they do eat them.
How much real choice do I have anyway?
Right now the Uranus-Neptune conjunction is working its way
through my first house (which is intercepted by the whole of
Aquarius). I am 62 in April. This thing will be with me for
quite a while - especially the Neptune!
Watch this [psychic] space!
