People always ask me, do you really think that people can make a difference? And my answer is no, I don’t think people can make a difference. I know people do make a difference. Everything we do, everything we buy, everything we eat has an impact on someone or something else. We don’t get to decide whether we can make a difference or not. We get to decide only, if the difference we inevitably make, is negative or positive. That’s it. Those are our only two choices. There are no neutral actions. And so for me, being vegan is about living my life with integrity and compassion and doing everything I can to not contribute to violence. Against anyone. Against animals, non-human animals and human animals. It’s about creating joy and meaning in a world so filled with violence. So filled with despair. That is to say, where violence creates more violence, nonviolence creates more nonviolence. And I like being on that side of the equation.
