I remember watching this YouTube before which was been shared on the Facebook highlighting the wisdom of the Indian Guru. To make it more interesting, I make it as if it is two person conversation. Someone: I love fishes Indian guru: what kind of fishes do you love? Someone: I love any fishes that can be deep fried Indian Guru: You don’t love fish. You love to eat fishes. You don’t love fishes. You only love yourself. Upon hearing the last part, I was like oh wow, you know what? He is right. A lot of people talk about loving something but when you break it down, they only love themselves

Nothing wrong with loving ourselves. Unless you are a vegan or for health reasons, nothing wrong either with eating fish or meat since we happen to be on top of the food chain.

Yes you are right. The Guru is actually correcting the person on person perspective

Agreed. Those who love (or are satisfied with) themselves are better able to love others. Eating fish can be a sign of respect for "higher" animals. I feel a bit sad when I eat cow or chicken, since I have also enjoyed the company of cows and chickens.

So now I am very careful with my word I love dogs (this means I truly loved them) I love to eat chicken (nothing more than eating them) Don’t want to be caught by tha guru correcting me

That's a pretty heavy inference for a guru to make. What is his name?

@id_peace I prefer: Q:How are we to treat others? A: There are no others.

We need food to survive so I guess we need to love ourselves and eat fish!! Loving yourself is not a bad thing.

Yes we should love ourselves. If we don’t how can we expect other to love us

But you can't infer that someone only loves themselves because they like to eat fish. That's silly.
