Or at least try to do as little as possible, by living a vegan life. We all harm just by living on this planet, but being vegan is intentionally trying to do the least harm.

A quotation from Chamfort

To enjoy and to give joy, without harming either oneself or anyone else, that, I think, is all of morality.
 
[Jouis et fair jouir, sans faire mal ni à toi ni à personne, voilà, je crois, toute la morale.]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 5, ¶ 319 (1795) [tr. Siniscalchi (1994)]

A quotation from Roosevelt, Theodore:

«
There is nothing to be done with that type of citizen of whom all that can be said is that he is harmless. Virtue which is dependent upon a sluggish circulation is not impressive. There is little place in active life for the timid good man.

Dear Friends of #friendlies 

Just been watching 'The Anti-social Network' #documentary. Interesting. 😎

Some #events I knew, some are new to me. Is Fediverse #different
or part of the same #pattern? Don't know. There seems a lot of anger and click baiting? So far a much #kinder and #inclusive place. With many #diverse #possibilities. Hope we can, 'make it so'.  

Meanwhile ...
Had vegetables with a puff pastry (done in an air fryer) top. Beetroot, apple, onions and raisin salad. Budding of apples in choc #sauce and custard. Great meal which we enjoyed. 😋

Here is a spot of #Buddhist #ahimsa (#harmlessness) for youse to explore ...

📢 Dear #Taipei_Times (#台北時報) editors,

😱 Whenever you do a story about #cannabis , you should mention #Taiwan's 🇳🇫 #decriminalization movement and the #substance's relative #harmlessness (compared with, for example, #alcohol).

💔 Love,
🐕 Tim

Growing cannabis illegal, even if just for fun: police

How to Defend Our Sensuality, The Hippie in Us All

sensuality needs a skeptical mind to reach its highest peak. Like a bird where feelings are one wing, but, to fly, the bird must have a second called reason.
