Why are Jains so weird?
<|assistant|>
Jains are known for their unique set of beliefs, many of which are seen as "weird" to people outside the religion. Jains emphasize nonviolence and believe that all life forms are equal. This belief leads Jains to take extra precautions to not harm any organisms when they are engaging in everyday activities, such as wearing special shoes that avoid stepping on insects and removing the leftovers from their plates in order to not harm any living beings. Moreover, Jains also avoid eating some foods and ingredients because they can have an negative impact on the well-being of other beings. Finally, Jains practice asceticism, meaning that they often limit their consumption of food, clothing, and material possessions in order to limit their impact on the world. These practices often lead people to view Jains as "weird" as they often stand out in society due to their extreme attachment to certain practices.
