“The decision to become vegan is one, simple light-bulb-on moment of clarity in which we realize that every area of our life up to that point has been built on using, on taking, on destroying, on harming and on killing others. In that moment, and in the moments of shame and grief which inevitably follow it, we realize that – as if such wanton horror was not enough – the majority of those whom we’ve been oppressing are helpless, are innocent, are vulnerable, are trusting, and are self-aware — indeed, that they are just like us in every significant way. Becoming vegan is not a complicated process, my Friends — becoming vegan is simply us finally making the decision to stop hurting others for our own superficial pleasures & fleeting moments of self-indulgence.” ~ inspired by There’s an Elephant in the Room
