Q.) does your own salvation lie in the salvation of the planet or your own refinement for the sake of unbinding from stress? for those satinists, their defineing food is more than laughing at car accidents as they pass on the road, or make them. and the wisest among them care not to be seen provoking misery or even nessicarily being the cause, just be around it while in relative decadence. the reason for this is that they know about karma. they dont think life ends after death and they have seen the corruption and maddening qualities of the food they ingest. these people may not be at the highest echelons in their group but from the aspect of safety, they lie at the top.
