76:
Why am I so keen to talk about Animal Rights, to alter
attitudes and change habits? I like to think it’s a wish to implant a sense of
optimism in others - “Go Vegan and Save the Planet”?
I see
potential in vegan principle andI’m busting to talk about it ... but sadly I
find no one wants to know. I’m cold-shouldered. Everything is thrown at me to
either shut me up or bring me back into the fold. The majority of people are
suspicious of us ‘minority types’, saying that we are deluded or even less
sincere than we seem. I speak often enough about kindness to animals but maybe
I’m not so kindly disposed towards people.
Whether
that’s true or not, the rejection I often feel makes me try all the harder to
come across as a sincere person. And ultimately that’s not such a bad thing. I
might need to learn the hard way, that this comes down to not having any
ulterior motives. And this is central to my eventual effectiveness.
