I didn't understand the category, so sorry if it was a different category.
I think the basis of Buddhism is that people always die of old age, but then, does giving birth to a child mean killing a child?
I think people will be burdened with death from the moment they are born. Is making them bear death the same as killing?
It's a pure question. I'm sorry if I made anyone uncomfortable.
Death comes without a goal.
People die over time, even if they don't try to kill them.
Death and murder are different ways of treating me, but the point of view that life is death is interesting.
if life begins and death ends
The beginning and end are not necessarily the same.
For example, take a train from Osaka to Tokyo.
Sometimes it's not always “I'm going to Tokyo anyway, so Osaka and Tokyo are the same.”
Just as there are people on the way from Osaka to Tokyo who feel the taste of traveling, there are also people who feel the human way of life from birth to death.
On a different note, science classes say that 80% of the human body is made of water.
When people die and are cremated, bones remain, but I don't know if water can also be said to have been killed.
After death, it becomes water vapor, rises to the sky, and one day it becomes rain and falls to the earth.
If you think so, the water in your body may change its shape and continue to travel around the world without being killed.
My mentor didn't say death; he called death.
Passed away due to “going away” and “living.”

Thank you very much for your thank you.
The idea above is limited to people who kill when they die.
I've also been involved in child welfare for about 10 years, so I hear opinions that if you support or deal with abuse after unwanted pregnancy/delivery, it would be better not to give birth than kill them.
There is also a part where I can't deny that feeling.
However, there is no change in the position of hoping that attachment will be maintained.
That said...
For example, if you expand your perspective on the lifestyle people eat, branded meats, crops, ingredients linked to events, etc. are at a very close distance when they live and kill.
Food is produced to eventually enter people's mouths.
I have no choice but to live because I'm an ordinary person. I also have parts that can't be easily broken down, so I wrote earlier that it doesn't work like a kanji test.
Since the positional relationship between ignorance and life and death alone cannot be cleared up, how do you illuminate the Buddha's wisdom and turn it into compassion in response to the sorrow of Shaba?
There were times when I thought kids weren't cute, but that was a fleeting feeling.
Overcoming it, the tears shed at a milestone of growth are warm.
I hope for such parent-child relationships.
As you say
From the moment people are born
I'm going to be burdened with death
making them bear death is the same as killing
I don't think so.
Being born and living
It's about bearing death on your back.
It's not about getting killed.

“I'm going to die anyway, so it was better not to be born”
Do you think so?
I read your question!
Death is a state. And killing is an act. There is an act called murder, and then a state called death comes.
In other words, killing is the means, and death can be said to be the result.
However, killing is not the only path to death. Killing is the act of causing death by manipulating it from outside. For example, in the case of senility, it is natural death, not murder. In this case, aging would be a means.
It's not death = death like this. As Aa-san said, giving birth may cause death, but it's not killing.
However, there is something that bothered me. There may certainly be an aspect of childbirth causing death, but that is just one way of looking at it.
For example, “life, old age, illness, or death” is often cited as a major human suffering. If you focus on that, giving birth is burdening life, causing old age, causing illness, and causing death.
Also, if the baby that is born receives a lot of love and grows up, delivery “bears love,” and if they are happy in the future, they will “bear happiness.”
In other words, the meaning of childbirth changes depending on where you focus on it.
Also, not limited to childbirth, everything in the world changes shape in various ways depending on how you look at it. This is because the world just exists as it exists. Various people criticize it using their own yardstick, saying “oh, that's right.”
So, even if you look at the same thing, there will be an infinite number of views, impressions, and evaluations about it. Not one of them is correct. Or it doesn't mean that either one is wrong. You can say everything is correct, and you can also say that everything is wrong.
In other words, why don't you just throw away your own opinions and just accept the world as if it were just there? Buddhism explains that, but it's quite difficult to put it into practice.
From this, it can be said that sticking to one point of view is a biased view. However, if it's biased, it would be great if you could look at it as “giving birth is something that brings a lot of love and happiness”!
That's because giving birth is a very mysterious and precious thing.
Please check it out even a little bit!
Also, if Aa-san has anything else in mind, please feel free to contact us via email if you like.
It's not a right answer or a mistake or anything like that.
How is it for you? If you feel that way right now, that's probably the case for you right now.
Do you see yourself as someone your parents were born to kill?
It's probably a question of life you had before you were a child.
Who or what is the active person in the verb “kill”? It's also important to think about things like whether it will go the way you want, and also think about what you are living for.
Are you living this life to be killed? That's the question.
