Optimism revisited

We have great need to become reconciled, vegan to non-vegan, non-vegan to animal. It’s the only way we’re ever going to deal with the very worst mistakes we’ve made. We are all capable of reconciliation and the best start is by reconciling with the ‘food’ animals themselves. We need to turn into compassionate folk - it’s as simple as that. First off it’s a personal thing concerning food choices. That takes us to the principle of non-violence. Next, it’s a reconciliation with our detractors, not excusing what they do but being on friendly terms with them, thence to be useful in reconstructing new habits for them. One we drop our superior-ism and move past the accusing stage, we’ll be able to see how things could possibly pan out (without us each being in separation). That’s optimism for you.
