Healers

650:

There are two different approaches, marching alongside each other, almost under the same banner – they each have something important to say about the state of human health and ethics. The rationale behind each approach might be all very interesting, but who amongst us has the time to contemplate ideas when, apart from health & ethics, there’s so much else to learn about, like the state of the planet, the quarrels between nations and the current state of one’s relationships?

            If I consider the animal abuse issue to be central I will prioritise that and want everyone else to lay aside other issues to prioritise that too. As a proponent of these issues, knowing as I do, quite a lot about animals and farming and the general wickedness of people in relation to animals, I will heavily promote veganism. But in the opposite camp there are some very bright cookies who promote something distinctly different. They are the healers. No, not the vegan healers, the non-vegan ones who are advocating from an entirely different basis, as proponents of ‘healthy’ diets or spiritual practices. They have wonderful wisdoms to impart. All of us could gain so much by listening to them, but by their not yet being vegan themselves they expose themselves to being taken not entirely seriously. They speak highly of peace and love, of sustainability and eating good quality foods. They are admired for their holistic and gentle approach but unfortunately they are laughed at for how they are in private, their habits and the way in which those habits run counter to the principles they espouse. Just by what they spend their money on they show that they aren’t as completely convinced of the peace and love principle as they say they are.
