Why I am not a vegan

[anagogy]

Of course people can work it out themselves, but it's quicker with mirrors. The thread is titled "Why I am not a vegan" and has 36 pages: those who are not vegan who are participating in this conversation need to take responsibility for their involvement, too - no one would be "attempting conversion" if there wasn't anyone showing interest by engaging in the discussion.

I mean, it seems to me that you are trying to convert Monica to a different frame of understanding, how is that different? You want her to take different actions that would unbaffle some blockages, yes?

Honestly, I don't want anything from Monica.  I'm not sure how my actions look to you, but I am simply doing what I love: discussing interesting concepts with people on an internet forum.  I don't think Monica would change her perspective even if the Ra social memory complex, itself, materialized before her, and specifically said that humans should be eating 3 servings of meat a day for optimal health.  I think veganism is just fine, and if one wants to do it, that is great.  I simply see opportunities to express what I see as truth, and I share those perspectives because people keep responding to me.  The difference between us is I'm not concerned with people acting differently than how they are right now acting.  They can go right on being animal rights activists if that is their hearts content.  It suits me just fine.
