The divide

It’s impossible just to remain passive when you’re with a meat eater, but our best work is done when we are quiet. The values we represent need to be drunk in by others, almost subliminally, because on the surface the omnivore has a value perception very far from our own. That’s why we must try to neutralise and abandon our value judgements of them because we’re always shown us up by them. If we can move right away from making judgements, even in our own minds, we’ll be better placed to observe their point of view. And once we’re familiar with that we are half way to helping them make a transition to new attitude.
