I am at a point in my life where living the best I can and making a difference is important to me. Not that it ever wasn't, but right now I am going through many changes. When I was young it was art, music, school, relationships, drugs...this was my way of learning and experimenting in the world. I sucked in the knowledge like a sponge. I will admit, there were a lot of things I didn't know. Now that I am older the world is a different place to me. I see things in a different view. I realize that there are issues in the world, and this country, that are destroying all of us. Whether you want to agree with me or not, its true. It really upsets me.
I cannot just turn my feelings off nor will I keep my mouth shut because people don't want to listen. I will not give up. I don't preach and I don't force anything on anyone. I just want to share important information with the people around me so that their lives can benefit as well. Is that so wrong? If I won the lottery I bet people wouldn't mind if I gave them some of it. So why can't they take positive information and advice if it will make their lives richer. I don't get it.
Even though I am going vegetarian that doesn't mean I want everyone around me to change as well. But what I do hope for is that what I have to share will encourage people to change. Only you can change who you are. I can only inspire you to be a better person. (and yes, we can all be better people) My beliefs are my beliefs and people can agree or disagree. But facts are facts. If you don't see that than you are ignorant and not as smart as you should be. If you know something is bad for you and you can easily choose the better option why wouldn't you? I really feel bad for people who are so comfortable in how they live that they shut themselves off to the world. No growth, no change and certainly no gain in happiness. This is not the life that I want.
I cannot help expressing myself on something that I am passionate about. I have always been this way. For the last couple of years I have been an advocate of natural and organic foods. I currently live my life the healthiest I have ever lived it. I choose to only put organic, healthy food in my body. Is that wrong? I choose to support animals and their rights instead of eating them. You want to eat meat, fine, than at least eat organic. If not, than you are choosing to eat a tortured, chemical injected, diseased animal. How can people know this and still continue their eating habits? How do they have the heart to support this behavior? I may not have control on what you do with your life but what I do have is the right to not respect your choices. If people only knew how ugly they really are....
I understand that getting involved in such issues will result in disappointment half the time. That will not stop me. It may upset me but that is what I have to deal with. And I do. Honestly, it only makes me want to fight more, share more and speak more. I realize that I will need to give up on some people after I get shot down. Fine. I tried. It only pushes me toward the next person in my journey. I am sick of hearing "I don't care". It's enough already. What if everyone said they didn't care about you. The difference: we humans have power and animals don't. They can't defend themselves or speak up for what they want. Why should they suffer for our taste buds? Why should they be murdered for fashion? What gives us the right to take their lives? There is no reason and we don't have the right!
I just want to make a difference in the world. If I can help my friends and family than I have done some good. I don't mean to preach my beliefs or choices but I will share what I know with the people in my life. I love a lot of people and all I want for them is to be happy and healthy. Most of them are not living this way. Whether they say they are happy or not...ignorance is bliss, I guess. Not my bliss. I live in the real world where it is not such a great place. A world that is craving love and care so much that it is dying. This country needs a wake up call. There are people like me out there doing their part and fighting every day for what they believe in. When change comes around and its enough to really make a difference, our work has been done.
Some people just learn too late. Others may never learn. Diseased minds only add to the negative energy on this planet. We can only help cure them with knowledge and love. Eventually the earth will lose its desire to live. What will we do then?
