Not even close.

Quote:And you are right, the wheat does not inflict revenge... Life does, because it is set up like a complex row of dominoes that produces a chain reaction.
Not in any meaningful or coherent sense.  

Quote:Everything is connected, so everything gets, eventually, affected by every event or action.
Useless deepity

Quote:I don't think we should be afraid of it or anything like that, but being aware of this principle is good for us.
Being aware of this principle doesn't seem to have done you any favors.  It's got you thinking that life extracts revenge for the crime of wheatkilling, somehow...because, you know, it's like, all connected and stuff.

My guess is that we'll just have to disagree on these points, but my belief is that human suffering is not random but caused systematically in the way I described.
