Activism: Bearing Witness To The Suffering That Exists In The World
Choosing to go vegan benefits not only you and your health. It also creates a ripple effect that affects those around you as well, particularly the environment and animals at large. Tackling an uncomfortable yet very necessary topic in this episode, Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen talk about veganism and activism in relation to Animal Cruelty/Human Violence Awareness Week. They discuss the connection between cruelty to animals and bigger forms of violence against human beings, highlighting the mentality that sees nature as somewhat beneath us. Speaking about activism as a means to get others to see what you’re fighting for, Jason and Whitney then tap into having a compassionate approach rather than the egoic and condescending perspective. Listening to the conversation in today’s show may make you feel uneasy, but it is an important part of our awakening to the suffering that exists in this world. Once you come to grips with that, will you find yourself coming down from the arbitrary place we humans tend to take, allowing us to hold safe places for animals and to better co-exist with the natural world.
