00(1) So all too often, we find in situations of conflict that religion, instead of encouraging people to move beyond their own trauma and own fears, tends not only to support it, but even to exacerbate it and feed in it.02br
02br
00Please check comma usage.02br
02br
02br
00(2) So in the final analysis in this rather long, convoluted response to your question, I have no other answer other than the great gift that the Almighty have given us.02br
02br
02br
00Should it be Almighty have or has? Please check S-V agreement.02br
02br
02br
00(3) So food is the biggest thing, and as human beings, started living in the caves or whatever we have, in society as human beings [it is for food that they] then come out and then they go. So the world is constantly reappearing the way it is now.02br
02br
02br
00Please check comma usage.02br
02br
02br
00(4) We begin to understand the being because the being is alive because it's craving for food.02br
02br
02br
00Can "and" added before " and because it's craving for food." Please advise.02br
02br
02br
00(5) And monk in 010200 were no pockets at all. No keeping for tomorrow. No food can be saved or stored for tomorrow.02br
02br
02br
00Should it be wore rather than were?02br
02br
02br
00(6) Other religions might advocate kindness to animals either because they also are creatures of God, according to their theology, as some theistic religions might, or because they are the embodiment of the same spirit as us human beings, as Vedantins might explain, that all life is coming from the same source.02br
02br
02br
00Can "as us" be substituted with "like us"? Please clarify.02br
02br
02br
00(7) When you are to look at the number of cattle that are slaughtered mercilessly in the wake of the Mad Cow Disease, or Mad Man Disease, whatever you call it, and nobody shed a tear about them. There were raised to die anyways02br
02br
02br
00Should it be "They were raised"?02br
02br
02br
00(8) Sometimes we have been animals too, or even worse. For this reason, a being who today is an animal might once have been a human being, or by exercising moral powers, that some animal may be reborn in the future as a human being.02br
02br
02br
00Should it be "that same animal"?02br
02br
02br
00(9) You can think of a story here which you can be seen on the TV's. A beautiful story about an elephant, narrated in the Jaina scriptures, illustrates the moral capacity ascribed to higher animals by the Jains.02br
02br
02br
00Should it be "which you can see it on the TV's"02br
02br
02br
00(10) And this is a story which is based on the sacred texts. And in this story appears in the canonical Bhagavati Sutra, which purports to preserve the words of the last tirthakara Mahavira02br
02br
02br
00Should it be " And this story appears"02br
02br
02br
00(11) There, Mahavira is asked about the war between the king of 010200 and some independent kings, which it is now agreed was a historical event, a war in which 48,000 people died.02br
02br
02br
00Should it be "which is now agreed"02br
02br
02br
00(12) Thanks you very much or Thank you very much02br
02br
02br
00Please advise which one is correct (Thanks or Thank).02br
