the Time is NOW … (12/12/13)
It’s not enough anymore to “be informed” …
It’s not enough anymore to be concerned.
Our species is hurtling towards extinction, my Friends — an extinction that is as spiritual as it is material,
… and only ACTION will save us.
Rest assured, even if you live in a country that is “1st World” & “Free”, you too are literally surrounded by the oppressed every day of your life — millions of innocent beings being imprisoned & abused & murdered right under your nose.
It is no longer enough to merely know that this is happening, and it is no longer enough that you emotionally care.
IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO ACT!
It is time to set aside your own superficial pleasures & your own “time-honored” traditions & your own cozy routines in order to DO SOMETHING — for your Self; for your loved ones; for your planet … for the oppressed.
“But what can I do?” you plead … “I am only one person and can’t make any real difference” … WRONG … You are NOT “only one” and your are NOT “only human” … You are one, beautiful, powerful, caring Human Being; a person whose choices make HUGE differences in the lives of dozens of other beings every day.
Indeed, what you choose to support with your words & your money & your actions is what will truly continue to exist … And it is important to remember that avoiding this Truth will not make it go away; that looking away from the injustices & cruelties of your society will not stop them from happening.
For your inaction is actually a loud vote FOR the status quo; and as such your refusal to choose is the most dangerous and the most deadly choice of all. Choosing to not speak out against injustice & cruelty is the same as actively supporting them … and choosing to buy & consume products made from acts of violence is the same as slashing those knives yourself.
And yet there is Good News, my Friends, and this Good News is this:
You are NOT a cruel person … You do NOT support slavery or torture or murder … You do NOT champion those evils in public … & you are indeed strong enough to stop supporting them behind closed doors as well.
It is an emPowering FACT that every day you choose to go vegan directly saves the lives of dozens of animals, directly contributes to the eventual healing of the planet, and directly promotes the health & prolongs the lives of all those you love (including yourself).
You are a powerful person, my Friend — capable of doing Great Good with the limited time you have been given.
Please act accordingly today … Thank you.
