IMAGINATION

When i want to know a cause or more about phenomena, one possibility of knowing, if not possible to see directly the cause, is to use the deductive way...So step by step i exclude one by one each hypothesis till it stays only the one or few ones reasonably acceptable cause(s)...But making so i presume to know all the possible causes and effects for a given phenomenon, and thus maybe exclude an "unknown" cause because of the lack of my imagination...

For example, we know some species living in the oceans but not all, so we imagine preferably the oceans with known species, but the world of the oceans is much bigger than what we imagine...It's not so rare to discover a new kind of being in the abyss of the oceans...

So, most of the time what i state to be known, without obvious direct evidences of causes and effects, is in fact an acceptable and so-called "vue de l'esprit", just a more or less good approximation of knowing limited by my imagination, but not exactly knowing.

COMPASSION

Quote of the Dalaï Lama with which i totally agree...

From the viewpoint of absolute truth, what we feel and experience in our ordinary daily life is all delusion. Of all the various delusions, the sense of discrimination between oneself and others is the worst form, as it creates nothing but unpleasantness for both sides. If we can realize and meditate on ultimate truth, it will cleanse our impurities of mind and thus eradicate the sense of discrimination. This will help to create true love for one another. The search for ultimate truth is, therefore, vitally important.

Some considerations on Vegetarians and non-vegetarians

Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life, a study says. those who were vegetarian by 30 had recorded five IQ points more on average at the age of 10 it could explain why people with higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher occupational social class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors. Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher occupational social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
