The Other Side of The Wall

1975:

Young people (and a few older ones too), using technology to access information, start to take control of what they learn, and learn different values for a different lifestyle. Traditions and conventions and authorities and mass media will scream the opposite values at us. In answer to that we have instinct and logic, and that helps us to disassociate from the old, familiar, dark, and violent world. We can be optimistic about our own future and want the best for the planet and, by simply eating plant foods, we can help defend the innocent, exploited animals.

On the other side of the wall, we swop foods, swop attitudes and eventually notice we’ve also swopped body chemistry. I found even my own small brain functions better when not weighed down with animal foods. I’m no longer feeling unwell, catching colds, or having too little energy.

For young people especially, the great advantage of having read about animal rights and vegan diets is that by having this new perspective on life, they’re more self-confident and feel better educated - less manipulated by having been kept ignorant of important issues.

As ‘the wall’ crumbles behind us, we’re already half way to solving Earth’s main problems, by being less wanting, less selfish, and less manipulated. We’re already half way to repairing damage, and leading our society towards becoming  more optimistic.
