I am a big fan of the Jains. I am curious as to why laughter is considered to be a defect in Jainism. I can’t find any answers online. I wonder if anyone can help clarify this? 🙏🏼

I have been contemplating non-violence and wondered if nonviolence can also be a form of violence in the light of not acting to prohibit violence? Or does Jain's philosophy value one life equally to that of 50?

A very unbalanced extreme practice, religion and belief system.... The Buddha said correctly that the middle way is the correct way. Extreme asceticism is not the way. And having no views is impossible because the practice Jainism is to have a view... anyway... it is what it is.
