The sobering effect of reality

What we are finding out about the effects of veganism on our whole organism, just by going vegan, is so beneficial to oneself that there’s an urge for us to pay back. Gratitude brings out the generosity in us. Our time might be precious, our effort and energy precious too, and yet we want to spend it big ... to promote what we’ve discovered. “Hey, I’ve got an aim!” (which is not the same as big-noting or boasting about a personal achievement). My aim says, “At last it’s clear, I know what to do ... so bring it on”.
That’s such a wonderful sensation that any amount of effort would never be enough pay back for such an amount of strength of purpose. Most activists I know are so grateful for what veganism has shown them that they feel constantly energised by it. We’d do anything to further the ‘clean-up’, to ease the animals’ pain, to ease our own conscience. Therefore it’s natural, for any one of us, to want to build a strong support base for animal liberation.
