Why I am not a vegan

[Diana]

At risk of continuing an unwanted debate about Monica's signature, I have the following to say about it:

I understand, and can understand why, many here feel they are being "told what to do" and this idea is counter to Ra's views on STO behavior.

I would propose that Monica's signature is not telling anyone what to do. I think she is expressing her heartfelt views, based on her own research which is considerable. However, if she is trying to force members here to change or agree with her, then it is her catalyst. If any here are reacting to it, it is theirs. I include myself in this as I react all the time to things, as we all do in 3D.

Allow me to make an analogy. If there was a person here who had, "I love to eat animals, and Ra agrees," so what? Or, "Vegetarians are STS because they eat screaming carrots," so what? I, being vegetarian, wouldn't turn every thread into an argument about it. I might start a thread to discuss it. If I think someone has crossed a guideline, I report it to the Mods. If someone says something offensive to me, I would try and express what I think about it and LET IT GO.

The ego wants to be right, not the spirit. But that is not to say it isn't good to discuss and have conflicts. I am just trying to shift the target off one individual a bit, and suggest that we are ALL fallible, and in Ra's words, one.
