fuckyeahcompassion-blog vegansofig vegansofig There really is an art to articulating veganism. I don’t believe in staying silent, and I never will be silent, but I do believe there is a right way and a wrong way to talk to people about it. I cannot stress how important it is to know the facts. It’s not just for yourself, it’s for educating other people. People cannot argue facts. They can justify an opinion, but they cannot change the truth. “But meat taste good!” is not an argument. It’s an opinion. However guarded and defensive someone may be, they are listening. It’s how you talk to them that counts. Even if you can’t get them to open their eyes, holding your own and being respectful will make a difference. I know I’m different, radical, and think about things that might not even cross someone’s mind. I have to always remember that. For some people, taking the extra effort to read the ingredients on a label is just a waste of time. They just can’t be bothered. You know how you make people care? You inspire them. There’s nothing wrong with showing the truth about animal products. You should never be silent. But I encourage you to think about the kind of warnings you hear that you think are annoying. What is it about them that turns you off? My mom used always remind me about using sunscreen. I didn’t listen. “Yeah, yeah. I’ll be fine.” Then she got Basal-cell carcinoma— skin cancer— from all her years in the sun. It’s very common, she had it removed and she’s fine, but that shit makes you think. And however annoying it was for my mom to bug me about it, I finally started paying attention. That could happen to me. It’s a shame that it took that much of an extreme to open my eyes, but I use that example because that is the exact same mindset as someone who just doesn’t even consider what their actions are to the animals and the environment. If you have the opportunity to discuss veganism, get people to think. Inspire people to want to change their lives. It matters. #vegansofighttp://instagram.com/p/NDJ6FXmiQw/
