Sarah said that all of her friends ate meat, so she wanted to also. That was the end of our conversation for the evening. The next day, as I reflected on all of these thoughts, I discovered that everyone thinks differently. I also realized that my beliefs are very important to me. Now I am a lot more aware of how people around me think or act, based on what they eat.
People do so many things that other people do, just to be cool or to be like their friends.
I am my own person. If only people could feel what they do to animals, then maybe they wouldn't hurt them anymore. Having empathy for life other than themselves is an important key for humans in keeping our planet alive. There is another concept that my conversation with Sarah brought up for me. When people love, admire, and see the beauty of animals, they seem to want that animal for their own use.
