An excellent post, Iscah.

I also think that another good way to look at it is through the lens of the natural world. I like to go hiking in forests and mountains, so I see a lot of such things in their purest form. Nature can seem both wondrous and cruel to us, but it is what it is and it works in its own way.

We might find a specific animal to be very cute, though as it is part of the food chain another, bigger animal will seek to consume it. There's no malice in the act, it's just how it works.

I like spiders. I think they're cool creatures who help get rid of pests. I also like cats and own one - she's adorable, though if she sees a spider she chases and kills it. I wouldn't make a moral judgement on that act because...it's instinctive behaviour.

Bringing the conversation back to Viera, that's how I see it. They aren't modern day real world humans, thus they have different instincts, cultural norms and behaviours.
