Your article has an interesting perspective on bullying in that it presumes that we are all contributors to bullying of some form. This is a very broad view and probably holds true in many cases.
I know of a couple of Jain's who do not pay taxes, do not squash insects, do not eat meat or fish, do not kill plants for food (they only harvest what allows the plant to keep living) and do not harm or attempt to influence others in any way. These people are rather rare, but wouldn't it be great if more followed their example? What if everyone did?
It is better to have Jainism than kill others in the name of religion.
Absolutely agree!
They are indeed rare but I don't think everyone would be able to live like that. Nature is a pretty violent place and when things get tough people change faces. Perhaps this would be feasible if the human population was smaller.
I have to agree with you there.
Not sure if the size of a population would impact their thinking though. It just might be possible that we are ultimately destined to all think like that so that we can pass on to the next life in a non-physical form.
