In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

Maybe humans seeking a compassionate will, yet not accepting the slaughter or cruelty of animals, should find it in their hearts to accept their other self whether this other self be human or animal-carnivore to do as they will, then accept them as part of their whole self, for without them their would be no lesson learned of Love; the carnivorous thus serve as a catalyst. This supposition may be flawed and misconceived in parts, but I wanted to bring it out here, maybe it could be refined.

The problem I have with that idea is this: it is completely passive. I'm not saying passive is not okay. But for me, I do not want to just exist. I want to live my "path" so to speak. I want to actively participate in my own evolution, rather than just being. I do not want to infringe on others' free will, and yet, I personally don't think it's okay to let everything just be--war, habitat destruction, starvation, cruelty, no respect for life. This is not to say I want to control others' freedom to experience these things, but in a general sense I would like to help the world evolve. In this, my first duty is to evolve myself. Then service to others.
