618:
An animal advocate, fighting the cause of Animal Rights, has
a life-long objective, which might look to some like an obsession.
Living according to vegan
principle is like having a lover – it’s an ultimate source of satisfaction, as
well as being a tester of our own shortfalls. We might becomes enthusiastic to
the point of obsession because it fills our lives with meaning. The testing bit
we may not like at first, but is concerned for our long-term education and
commitment.
Here’s the general aim: we try to
free farm animals. To have such a mighty aim calls for mighty changes in one’s
personal life, and that sets off a sequence of events which are, perhaps,
unnerving at first. The sequence of events obviously starts with food; as we
begin to boycott and start implementing vegan principles, it probably signals a
major turning point in our life. But as we go deeper, our ‘going vegan’ leads
us into a more natural life. It’s like swimming below the water and coming-up
for fresh air. We ‘go’ more with Nature and then we go towards a love of
Nature, always with animal-liberation in mind.
The whole journey starts with a
private diet. And by being more in tune with Nature our vegan lifestyle becomes
ever more appealing, first to ourselves and then, by talking about it, to
others too. As soon as we’re happy and
at ease with all these changes, we can go on to talk to people and feed people
with the sort of food we eat at home.
