I am angry.
Haven’t felt like this in ages because my life (and mind) has been a happy
happy filled flower without worries lately. Today I decided it was about time
to educate my family about the cruelty that is happening in this world behind
the scenes. I was worried about their reactions and I certainly knew that it
would be no easy job to get them to the point I wanted them to be. I certainly
accept their lifestyle because everybody is free to choose, but I wanted them
to be conscious about what their choice was about. I wanted them to fully
understand what they’re collaborating with.
I wanted to
start by watching a documentary called Earthlings where the process of the meat
and dairy production is shown as it happens. But as soon as it started my
mother denied to keep watching it; she asked me to take it off. I obviously refused
her proposition so she got furious like fire. She would not watch it by any
mean.
It shocked
me down. Truth was: she turned her head away from reality and decided to ignore
the suffering and pain that humans are causing to our fellow earthlings.
I could not
change her mind and I got so upset that I can’t even look at her anymore.
Because she perfectly knows it is wrong however he decides to follow the “easy”
way. Ignorance.
My heart is
broken. I can not stand the situation of knowing that someone I love and admire
because of her strength and determination, because of the endless love and
kindness towards everyone has CHOSEN to ignore de pain and suffering animals
face every day because of us.
I admit
that I didn’t go vegan because I cared about animals, but the more I think
about it the more connection I feel with nature and its creations. I see a sustainable lifestyle free of
cruelty, disease, pain and discrimination. I see equality, love, health and appreciation
towards every creature on Earth. But I can’t spread the message. People knocks
me down every time I try to show/tell/explain them a piece of reality. It’s
hard and I am lost.
I’ve just
lost a little faith in humanity. If people refuse to listen, how are we supposed
to evolve?
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival
for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet"
