It’s not about being “cool” … It’s not about being “better” … It’s not about being “healthy” … It’s not about being a “responsible citizen” … It’s not about your “morality” or being a “good person” … It’s not about saving money … It’s not even about taking better care of yourself & your loved ones.

No, my Friends, being vegan is far simpler than all of that:

Being vegan is about not causing others needless pain & suffering … Being vegan is about not taking away others’ rights and liberties … Being vegan is about not imprisoning others or enslaving them against their will … Being vegan is about not stealing others’ children … Being vegan is about not being mean & cruel … Being vegan is about not killing when we don’t need to do so … Being vegan is really simply about harmonizing our actions with our ethics; harmonizing our choices with our innate knowledge of what is Good & Right & Kind.

It’s not rocket science, so let’s not make it more complicated than it actually is … Being vegan is simple; being vegan is choosing to avoid causing others harm if we don’t have to do so … period.

Amen … Let it be.
