I've been vegetarian for many years because I've known about how cruel factory farming is. I don't feel anger as much as I feel sadness for all the world's cruelty, and hatred. This consumes me at times, but I too find comfort in reading some spiritual leaders and practicing what can bring me hope and some joy. May you be well, healthy and safe.Myrna R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15088915165678737118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-75622243741802675102020-04-14T15:59:42.230-04:002020-04-14T15:59:42.230-04:00I love this so much, every single thing about it.....I love this so much, every single thing about it.........it is true, we are what we eat. I made that shift, too, when I learned about the conditions of factory animals (and what is pumped into them), their lives of fear, pain and despair. The global wildlife trade and wet markets are even more horrendous. I love that you rescued two kitties and though they may get triggered by bad memories occasionally, mostly they trust you and are grateful for your care, I am sure. I especially LOVE your closing, where you are busy feeding kindness at home. So glad you wrote about this angle for my prompt, Susan. Many thanks. Have you heard Ted Talks by Valerie Kaur? I am sure you must have. She speaks so wonderfully about rage versus radical loving kindness. Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926508656571639801noreply@blogger.com
