Are we out-witters or healers?

Tuesday 8th February 2011
Here are two different approaches marching alongside each other, under the same banner. The rationale behind each approach might be very interesting - either mentally annihilate them or offer them a flower? But do we have time to contemplate such things? In a short space of time there’s a lot to do, and a lot to learn too – most of us are unrealistically ignorant of the forces we’re dealing with. Out there, promoting the opposite of veganism, are some very bright cookies. Challenging. And out there, there are a lot of healers advocating an entirely different basis for healing. Challenging too.
If vegans ever get round to firing volleys at ‘the enemy’, then let our shot land where it will, and if it misses its mark then we try again. We shouldn’t worry about missing our target because we pitched what we had to say at the wrong level – let’s not forget, apart from passing on information to the omnivore we are, at the same time, testing our main approach road with every omnivore we speak to. Communication can only work when we are happy that we’ve got the approach balanced just the way we want it.
