In one of the Star Wars movies, when Luke Skywalker finds that this father really is alive, he accuses Obi-wan of lying. Obi-wan says that everything is true, from a certain point of view. That strikes me as being manipulative and *not* in tune with the light-side/dark-side and good-side/evil-side view of the Star Wars universe.
Most people plant herbs to use in their kitchen, and resent it when the caterpillars get some. I volunteer at the aquarium and last Wednesday I was planting parsley specifically for the caterpillars to eat! These caterpillars, though, are butterfly caterpillars. If we want the beautiful flying things to be around, we have to feed the not-so-beautiful stages of their lives.
Talk about points of view!
