Ra's Statements About 2D Entities

[Diana]

Again, there is nothing wrong with your passion, and you have obviously helped change some minds here or sway them with your intensity. I am merely expressing a minority opinion and also playing devil's advocate, as I am a long-time vegan but I find these methods quite aggressive.

I realize that this particular conversation is between you and Monica, but I, for one, am grateful for Monica's persistence. If it weren't for her tenacity in posting so many threads about this, then I likely would never have come across this thread (when it was posted; not to mention the fact that, if it weren't for her persistence, there would be very few threads to find on the subject) and, subsequently, decided to become a vegan.

You can disagree with her tactics, but don't underestimate the work she has done. She really has 'changed some minds,' as you said.

Lighthead, it's refreshing to hear your acknowledgment of Monica's efforts.

I agree that Monica's exhaustive work here (and in her part of the world) to bring awareness to the issues of meat-eating are commendable. 

A few thoughts on the matter: 

1. Trying to bring awareness to an issue is not the same as trying to change others' minds. Many here, I think, get this confused. 

2. If someone is trying to bring awareness to an issue, is it correct to say that person is trying to be RIGHT, or is it more accurate to say that person is trying to see if the information was actually understood or acknowledged?

3. In my opinion, there is no ONE WAY to help the damaged 3D world humans have created. Bringing awareness to an issue is one way, and a good one, as it respects free will and leaves choice up to the person who has been made aware of the issue.
