This is a heavy burden to live with yet most vegans must...we encounter these people who know-better everywhere, everyday.<br />Additionally it is a challenge to live in a World that is consumed with so much violence and lack of empathy.<br />The only answer I can think of to be able to LIVE in this World as a Happy Vegan is to surround yourself with others that share your belief. Vegan friends are imperative.<br />Vegan support is critical.<br />Many, many vegans I know are Angry Vegans :) Taking to social media with abrasive language, etc. This is understandable to me, yet harbors toward verbal-violence. I personally cannot let myself go there because I KNOW that carnivores will be turned off and it's also anger fueling.<br />As vegans, lover's of all life we must LIVE this lifestyle in a peace-producing way...much like the animals we fight so hard for.<br />@greennomad61noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-21616117496095692972016-05-28T05:49:58.097-07:002016-05-28T05:49:58.097-07:00Thank you, especially, for the final few paragraph...Thank you, especially, for the final few paragraphs. A lot of vegans say "omnis just don't know, if they knew, they'd change."<br /><br />But we have access to the entire world of knowledge at our fingertips. "They just don't know what's going on," could have indeed been a plausible excuse 20 or 30 years ago, but not anymore. Anyone in the Western world--and much of the developing world too--could spend an afternoon learning the basics of how industrially produced animal products get to the table, and about how to make different choices. They are making a conscious choice not to. peacenoreply@blogger.com
