Re: [thingist] (from three universal truths 'buddhism')


If one used logic (a brain function), one could possibly calculate that there
is little difference between a plant and animal in the definition of a living
thing. Thus choosing to eat plants but not animals is an arbitrary division (a
line). However this is an abstact description and does not necessarily
coorespond to reality.

I am asking how they described the differentiation between plants and animals.

Yes (yes) - you language is colorful as well.

Silly me. Fed Ex returned the package un-opened and smeared with a foul brown
material.

This was expected, for when I send presents to stable boys who can't open them,
they are likely to respond with horse manure.
