A wake-up call

In the West we live comfortably enough but in a mind prison, well, more like a pit with steep slippery sides. As omnivores there’s no chance we can climb out - we’re disabled by our attitudes and habits. If we’re happy to stay there or we’ve given up trying to escape we can use our autopilot to survive. We don’t have to think too deeply about what we’re doing then. When vegans move amongst the sleepers and start talking about escape no one has to listen. Some do but for every one listening a thousand are not and prefer it that way and don’t want to be woken up. They don’t want to be told anything unless it will improve their life (in the pit). To that end their own free-will is strong enough to resist any attempt to reach them.
As for waking up, some may be ready to be roused, but there’s a dilemma – one may be attracted to the idea of self improvement but not want to feel as though they’ve been pushed that way. Sure, they may feel guilty and fear ill health and for these reasons do want to wake up. Sure, they may hae been just waiting for an excuse to show their compassion, but most of us want to do it at our own pace.
Some will say: “Too slow, too slow” and yet if some of us do this, if we put pressure on, we lose our best chance with them, since they’ll say: “There’s nothing worse than being morally blackmailed into 'self-improvement'”.
