Answer:

My take on his quote is that he's asking about the reasons for why a war took place. To elaborate, he's making subtle points about how the war happened due to the greed, hatred and other mortal reasons.

Explanation:

Well to understand his conversion to Buddhism in the first place is to understand the goal of Buddhism. The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to reach Nirvana, aka the point of enlightenment where earthly sinful desires such as greed, hatred, and etc do not exist at all. Essentially, the answer is that Ashoka is tired of the endless killings due to hatreds, greed, and etc, and he converts to Buddhism in order to find Nirvana so that he does not need to keep himself in continuous suffering.

According to a contemporary text, the Edicts of Ashoka, Ashoka converted to Buddhism because he “felt remorse on account of the conquest of Kalinga because, during the subjugation of a previously unconquered country, slaughter, death, and taking away captive of the people necessarily occur.”

Word-of-mouth stories tells that after the war was over and Ashoka saw the destruction he had caused, a woman approached him and said, "Your actions have taken from me my father, husband, and son. Now what will I have left to live for?". Moved by these words, it is said, that he accepted/adopted Buddhism. He vowed to never take life again and became one of the most just ruler India has ever seen.

How does the structure of the federal court system ensure that americans have ample opportunities to seek justice?
ivolga24 [154]
For starters, if you believe that a court has wronged you, you can seek justice from courts of appeal that revise the decision to make sure that it was properly made. If you still think that they've wronged you after that, you can ask for the help of the supreme court which checks whether it was constitutional what they did. There are many steps that you can undertake.

Cite textual evidence to prove the conspiracy theory that Bigfoot is real please no links
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Relatively few people, in or out of the field of science, believe in Bigfoot. A purported Bigfoot sighting would likely be met with the same level of credulity as a discovery of Casper, Elvis, Tupac, or Santa Claus. With only 16 percent of Americans Bigfoot believers, you might just write them off as crazy. But contrary to popular assumption, folklore experts say, Bigfoot believers may not be as irrational as you’d think.

“It’s easy to assume … that people who believe in Bigfoot are being irrational in their belief,” says Lynne McNeill, Cal grad, folklore professor, and special guest on the reality TV show Finding Bigfoot. “But that’s really not true. People aren’t jumping to supernatural conclusions very often; people are being quite rational. It doesn’t mean they’re correct; it just means they’re thinking rationally.”

OK. So what are some reasons why people might rationalize a belief in Bigfoot?
