Veg*ns and activists of all sorts and varieties can get so riled up, after all, and want to change the world that they lose sight of the very beauty of their own relationships... We're not vegan conversion machines.
That said, I'm not going to stop handing out flyers and tabling and getting shit done. Shifting to a plant-based diet is helpful to our society in so many ways. Not to mention that it allows us to see the connections behind all the products we have been so blindly led to consume... But to side with certain PETA-activists who argue that every possible interaction should be one that shows veganism in a certain light can be crippling. After all, aren't vegans and vegetarians animals, too? Shouldn't we provide ourselves with some due 'animal justice' in a hustling, bustling world of alienation?
Just a reminder to bring some balance into our lives. Personal revolutions are equally important.
