haha i'm sorry about that obviously i wasn't done but I am just starting to feel so hopeless i'm losing weight rapidly and crying several times a day i just can't ever stop thinking about all the animals that die everyday. Nothing makes it better i can stop i can help others to stop but i'm not fixing it, i'm not saving those animals and its horrible it just keeps flashing across my eyes and i want to save them so badly and i can't. How can any of us just forget about all the death and suffering and go on with normal life? I'm finding it hard to function its so disturbing to me. The worst part is knowing that its not going to stop, not anytime soon how can so many people really just not care? its awful and i can't just forget about it or feel okay knowing its going on how does everyone else just get over this?
You really just kind of answered your own question. You said: "How can any of us just forget about all the death and suffering and go on with normal life?" And then you said: "how can so many people really just not care?" The truth is, they don't care. And that's how they go on with normal life. They care less about it because it doesn't affect them. If YOU personally want to continue caring (as most of us on these boards do), and live a normal, happy life, you have to take everything with a grain of salt. Do some delving into philosophy. You have to realize, this is the kind of world we are born into. Where the dominant race abuses the other races of the planet. And what's the only thing that can stop the dominant race? The dominant race. That's where YOU come in. You're only one out of 6 billion people. But combined, there are, at *least* ten million vegetarians across the globe, and it's probably much higher than that. That is a lot of animals that we can save, combined! It's not a total loss. I understand how you feel about the suffering and death of these animals, but you must also realize that, you aren't greater than any other human being, and you can only save a few animals by being vegan. You can save more by teaching others to have a good view of veganism and a bad view of animal cruelty. But, if you're going to convince the rest of the world, you have to outsmart them tactics-wise. When you aren't saving other animals, you should be living your life. There isn't anything you can do, and it's not in your power to change. That's why you shouldn't feel bad about it. There is a quote, that goes along the lines of, "God grant me the strength to accept the things that I cannot change, and the power to change the things I can." You can only change things once you can accept the way they are.
there is an eating disorder that is signaled with extreme vegetarian dietary (all based on control, not what is actually in the food) If you are having psychological symptoms, find a therapist.
well, we are helpin as much as we can, its better than nothing. i feel like im doing good, im saving animals, im not eating living breathing thingss, and that makes me feel good about it, it outweighs the bad really. it does. together, we can all save them, but we have to try, even if we dont suceed in saving all of them were saving lots of them!
