1933:
I think the finding of truth
isn’t about attempting perfection or seeking enlightenment or taking a ‘spiritual
path in life’, it’s about getting used to change when circumstances demand it,
and being at ease with the need-to-change. Change keeps alive a questioning of those
things others aren’t bothered about.
For vegans, the most
bothering thing I can think of is the routine
abuse of sensitive and sentient beings. The reason it’s so bothering is
that all are innocent and all badly abused. As a vegan, I want to expand my
sense of responsibility over all this, firstly to penetrate deeply the reason
why our fellow humans are hard.
This translates to an ability
of humans to be careless and cruel to their animal slaves. And it’s confusing
to see nice people being hard. We all know how to treat our nearest and dearest,
with love and affection, etc. But why stop there? Why stop anywhere, with humans,
animals, environment? Is there anything that doesn’t deserve our affection?
When it just happens to pass us by?
