1069:
If we abandon certain aspects of traditional lifestyle it
doesn’t mean we have to abandon friends, or make it a condition of our
friendship that they must agree with us. Vegans can set a valuable standard
here, since we’re the ones wanting to discuss things. We usually initiate an
interchange on this subject, and we should know that it serves no one’s
interests to quarrel or trash the feelings of people we talk to. It’s a matter
of a fine balance: there’s nothing to be gained by separating from others or
leaving them behind. But there’s also nothing to be gained by pretending that
we find acceptable that which we clearly do NOT accept.
