What happens when you think about things? Seems to me, the harder you dig, the more things fall apart. Currently, I'm in a sort of discussion on another forum centering at the moment around the phrase, "the right way to live".
It is my contention, if you really examine this, there is no such thing...there IS no Right Way to do anything. There ARE, however, sets of rules provided to us that seek to define the Right Way. Invoking the Right Way as being an absolute, or being a Jungian archetype seems to me an act of faith and ultimately a defense for one's own choices. That is, I choose to do this and such because it is The Right Way, and being The Right Way, it is therefore beyond question.
Is it a Right Way to take a life? The answer, of course, will be dependent upon the life taken. Why is that? Because of a personal judgment that one kind of life has more value than another, when in reality, ALL life is the same. It's no problem to kill a mosquito, or a spider, or a snake...it IS a problem to kill another mammal....however, the problem varies depending upon the species. It's a bit more acceptable to kill birds and fish, and anything that might taste good. We DO have a ranking of relative importance.
