So often I wonder what creates a shift in our consciences. What makes behaving in one way okay, and behaving in another not okay? Over time my own conscience shifted, creating the vegetarian behavior I now engage in today.
We hold our own lives so valuable and dear. We grasp so tightly to hold on to and defend our own lives. Yet when it comes to the lives of other beings, we so easily take their lives without even a passing thought towards the plight of those beings. Not even a blip on the radar of our conscience to direct us in changing our course of behavior.
I really don't understand what created a shift in my own conscience. And I don't understand why others do not feel what I feel. Are our brains really all that different?
In my own circle, so often I feel alone in my thinking. How come it seems like people don't care?
