A Comprehensive Attitude Change towards our guardian role probably involves a long to-do list. Today’s big dis-ease is the feeling of being perpetually overwhelmed by that very list. In our attempt to shorten it we’re forced to compare close interests with more distant interests. We become pragmatists. We try to ration-out the care we have. We become partial and therefore inconsistent. For their part, vegans are examining their own consistency levels by living out their vegan principles; our to-do list is therefore longer and potentially even MORE overwhelming, yet I don’t think we’re drained of our energy because of that.
I reckon our biggest horror in life is the double standard that we’re applying all over the place. When we lift that off our shoulders we’re free. And then we’re no longer facing the problem of sorting out what to care about and what NOT to. For vegans we’re no longer facing the Problem of Solomon so we don’t get so frustrated at falling short of our ideals, if only because we’re not all the time dabbling in double standards.
