00:00If some mosquito comes in front of me and he tries to bite me, how can I take my compassion

00:11with that mosquito?

00:13Violence is when it is possible to not to hurt consciousness and yet you are hurting it.

00:25The lion attacks you, you are well within your right to kill it, not even a mosquito, you

00:29can even kill a lion.

00:32Because you have no option nor did you want to attack the lion, the lion attacked you.

00:38So two things here, first of all, is there an option, second, what is the relative level

00:45of consciousness of the two?

00:47The lion kills the deer in the jungle, that is not violence.

00:52Because there the killing is inevitable.

00:53Does the lion have an option to eat grass?

00:55No, it does not have that option.

00:58But you have the option.

01:00So don't take the example of the lion to defend your dietary traditions or that of the mosquito.
