So do you think someone who is operating from a place of love would never try to champion the oppressed?
By that logic, then some of the world's most highly revered 'saints' like Mother Theresa, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and even Jesus, must have lacked love, but were only trying to 'change society out of their own need to be control or be correct.'
For the record: I am NOT, I repeat, NOT comparing myself, Diana, Pab, Pickle or any of the other vegetarians to these great leaders. We are NOT their equals. They are our mentors.
I am using them as an example of those who clearly DID take ACTION.
Were they loving, or were they controlling?
I am sure that whether meat-eater or non-meat-eater, each being is doing the best s/he can, as it is known to the self. In regards to the names you've mentioned, these people were fighting for different causes, and except for Gandhi (who I believe was born into a brahmanian family who are vegetarians by religion), I am not sure that these entities were vegetarians? Do you know that they were vegetarians?
That is not the point, whether these individuals were vegetarian. The supposition is that they were speaking up, taking action, out of love, not a need to control.
Ra spoke to us out of love, as an answer to a call. The same can be said of vegetarians on this thread: we are speaking out of love, in answer to a call. If you think humans are the only beings worthy of being answered, then you will not see it the way I do. And that's fine.

If you think vegetarians are motivated by the need to be correct, then you don't understand us at all.
Couple of times I've read that if everybody would go veg there would be a much better world. Do you agree with what I've just said? If so, is that not a desire based on the feelings to alter and/or remake our current society?
I don't recall those exact words, but saying it would be a better world is an opinion, and it does not include having to be correct.
Do you want a better world for your daughter? Would you like war to end, for instance. Would you thinking or saying this mean you wanted to be correct?
