Just the act of not eating meat doesn’t make a person
<better>. Just the act of not participating in systematic and massive animal cruelty doesn’t
<enlighten> a person.
So when a meat eater scoffs at us and says <so you think
you are better because you don’t eat
meat, HUH?> we can answer with a <no, we are not <better>>
But the opposite is even more true. Eating meat while aware
of the cruelty behind it DOES damage your spirit, soul, or whatever you want to
call it. Eating meat and actively blocking your mind for the truth that meat
means extreme cruelty, DOES lower your mind. Taking part and being responsible
for systematic and massive cruelty to living beings that don’t have a voice in
our society and are dependent on us, is a huge black mark on your spirit, soul,
humanity, or whatever you want to call it.
To continue our entertaining conversation with the meat
eater, we can continue with an <even though I am not <better> because
I am a vegan, YOU are certainly much worse as a human for eating meat knowing
the cruelty it causes yet ignoring it and even mocking people who DO stop
eating meat.>
BEING a vegan might not make you a better human, but
BECOMING a vegan certainly does. When we did realize how cruel the animals are
treated for our meat, and even our eggs and milk, we were disgusted by so much
extreme and unjust cruelty to defenseless animals. We actively did change ourselves,
we ditched the meat, the cheese, the eggs, the milk, and all without someone patting
us on the back, on the contrary, we did it against the grain, at highest people
around us tolerated it, at worse people turned verbally aggressive towards us.
We did BECOME vegans because we followed <the higher
element> in us, we did choose for compassion, social justice, ethics, a
humane society. We opened our mind and our heart instead of closing them.
It must sound very arrogant for meat eaters, but the activity of BECOMING a vegan , that DID make us a better human being. J
