Oh, wouldn't it be great if life could be so black and white.
Let us assume that being around a depressed person depresses you and shortens your life. (it is true, but quite a bit more complex)
So, you are depressed (because of childhood trauma, or some horrible accident in the family...) but you carry on, and go to work each day. Your work mate is going to have a shorter life from being around you.
This is not outright killing them, but at what percentage?
Being depressed makes you much more likely to get into an accident.
So, your work mate, being depressed from work, and being near you, steps out in front of a bus, because they weren't being fully aware.
Did you just kill them?
You see, people kill all the time. Is it better to have someone who knows what they are doing, or someone who kills by accident?
In my opinion a person who knows they are a monster is much more preferable than a person who does not know.
A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
We are about to enter a time where you will have to make a choice of standing on your human rights as a free person, or cowering as a slave. Thus, it would be nice not to kill, but we are no where near a place in our evolution where we can hold it as anything more than a goal that we should strive for.
It seems you are missing the point of my post.
Of course the world is not only black and white, lots of grey I can see between the two poles.
But I’m talking about soldiers being killers, which are eventually praised and worshipped as heros.
And soldiers kill intentionally. That’s there job and that’s what they are payed for. Quite different to being around a depressed person, who didn’t choose being in that state.

So, you feel that killing intentionally is worse than killing unintentionally?
That one develops less karma?
You point out the in your face, honestly out to kill you, armed and violent killer.
I watch hundreds of people kill other with a thousand paper cuts.
Or backstabbing someone after breaking their will / heart.
Both are just as dead. But one was honest, the other dishonest.
Until we cut the crap and start dealing with each other openly, then the shit that soldiers do is small potatoes.
I do not praise soldiers. I do not feel The US should be engaged overseas. However, we are not told the whole truth, so it is hard to see what is the real motivation.
This kind of statement makes any reply you say after it meaningless.
Since i wrote a lengthy reply, it is more likely that i read your article and replied with how i saw it differently.
Of course, i expect you to reply to my reply with, "that was not my point, my point was (try to say the point in another manner)" or "I see your point is Y, but i was trying to make point X."
Starting off with a put down is boorish. Of course i am going to disagree with you. (Unless i am just being a troll) My counter arguments are fuel to make your argument, logic and rhetoric stronger.

Yes I do think that killing intentionally is worse! Also hurting someone intentionally is worse than without intention!
Harming, hurting or killing other people in whatever way is wrong, except self-defense there is no excuse.
But coming back to your depressed person, I don't see any intention to harm somebody else. Neither do I see from this example that that person is being immoral!
Btw... Karma doesn't exist!
Or you just missed the point!
However, thanks for reading my post and for taking your time to write your comment how you see thinks. And if you look into my comment earlier again, you might see where I stated my point once more, just for you.

"However, we are not told the whole truth, so it is hard to see what is the real motivation."
This is the biggest problem because in my opinion that real motivation is usually money/power/resources obviously.

> To make a quote... (this made the above)Yes, obviously, but what is not obvious is their game plan.
Such as, we, The US is in the middle east to destabilize the entire region... but what for? Its not for oil, The US has more untapped (by design) oil reserves than the entire region.
My best guess is that T.H.E.Y. want their empire back, which was centred in that region eons ago. Maybe T.H.E.Y. know of some real power source there.
But, whatever it is, they are fighting useless wars over what appears to be a bunch of dessert.
