In regards to eating meat

[BrownEye]

I think it's unreasonable to assume that we can continue engaging in actions that lack compassion, and then expect to instantaneously be transported to a place where everyone is compassionate.

I see this as well. Although i do not expect to "move up", it may be more automatic than my monkey mind wants. I am very much attached to the planet and nature. I call this place home. I also recognize that the average person not yet aware will only be a consumer, pillaging what the planet has to offer. Not that that would be specifically connected to eating meat.

I guess something we forget about the world is that all range of evolution is coexisting side by side. While some find a more efficient path and feel the need to pass on that benefit to others, another side to efficiency is to not expend energy on those not ready for travel. It would be much more efficient to work on an individual basis with those actively attempting change.
