It can lead to obsession if you forget the fact that compassion, not perfection, a sense of vegan living. Our world is not ideal. Therefore, work on trying to achieve the impossible is exhausting and can lead to despair or abandonment vegan lifestyle
Veganism means awakening, awareness and out of the fog that protects most people from suffering and death - the horror that continues forever just out of habit, for pleasure and profit. Many vegans also excites the process and discouraged. Vegans notice the wonders and beauty of the living world, its flexibility, resilience, and splendor, and watch it again with the eyes of a child.
At the same time waking up is painful. Consciousness is not restricted to the attractive side of life, it also reveals repulsive and disgusting sides. However, watching with wide-open eyes gives clearer view of the essence of life and promote a deep and meaningful internal growth. People who are protected from the crude reality never fully develop its gentle and sympathetic nature. Until the sharp edges cut through the anxiety of surface shell of the heart, compassion will remain alien concept.

If you visit the killing floor of a slaughterhouse, it will brand your soul for life.

About Veganism
petak, 8. siječnja 2010.
A vegan lifestyle completely avoids the use and consumption of animal products. Vegans eat a plant based food, with nothing coming from animals, no meat, milk, eggs, honey, leather, wool, silk and other animal products. Milk contains far too much fat and protein for humans. And eggs are higher in cholesterol than any other food. Veganism is known to boost immune systems and facilitate weight loss. The word vegan was coined by Donald Watson in 1944. He combined the first three and last two letters of vegetarian to form vegan, which he saw as the beginning and end of vegetarian. Donald Watson, also founded The Vegan Society in the same year. Vegan foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are rich in fiber and nutrients. Vegans can get all the protein they need from legumes and grains. A vegan diet can provide all the nutrients we were taught in school came only from animal products. Most vegans also avoids products that are tested on animals. Some of the famous vegans include: Olympic track star Carl Lewis, comedians Weird Al Yankovic, Keenan Ivory Wayans and Kevin Nealon, and Coretta Scott King.
