Yeah...

That is a number one thing I hear "Don't you care about humanity?"

I wish they could see that Vegans believe in refraining from abuse of ALL beings...Abuse to humanity is Appalling and something that I take very seriously .....Sorry about the Caps..that is the way it was copied and pasted....but to totally neglect human suffering also goes against what Veganism is all about.....and some people do not understand....At any rate I tend to think like this:

ABSTINENCE FROM ANIMAL PRODUCTS
HARMLESSNESS WITH REVERENCE FOR LIFE
INTEGRITY OF THOUGHT, WORD, AND DEED
MASTERY OVER ONESELF
SERVICE TO HUMANITY, NATURE, AND CREATION
ADVANCEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING AND TRUTH

Ahimsa is explained in detail in Ahimsa Volume 41, Number 4, page 19.

"To avoid causing terror to living beings, let the disciple refrain from eating meat."

hmmmmm thank you! I was a photojournalist for a bit....

Army Supply Store owner

Mental Health, Rehabilitation Counseling for individuals with Disabilities..... I love helping Veterans (I am one myself) and would like to contract to be a counselor....

Another stereotype bites the dust LOL ..that all I care about are animals (No one says that to me...cause they know I also dedicate myself to helping others)

I don't know just yet

Apparently my choice of career is super flexible....there are a ton of openings all up and down the Southeast area and a few states I can get some more certifications and maybe start my own practice...

How about you..what do you do??

Pfft,

My mom told me I was the dumby who would never amount to anything....she also said I did not have talents...now I am working on my second Masters and doing something I adore (working in Mental Health)

So some mothers are not always there and deflect their own insecurities on their own children....it is sad really

Various reasons...I am in Philly now....and I do not like it...but graduate school is the reason I stay

I am an outdoors girl at heart....maybe one day I can go and see...I have always wanted to see all the Canyons, River and Views that compromise AZ, NM and Nevada...perhaps Canoe down the Canyon Rivers.....

Good to know...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww



my hair is longer and I am a few pounds less....but I sometimes do not feel so pretty even though I am a happy person....Grammy, you are not ugly! As a former pro photog, I know...everyone has their own unique brand of beauty....sometimes I wish I could see that in myself...and I am starting too...it is strange..me being Vegan has allowed me to see my "inner" potential....

Always wanted to go to AZ....raised in Texas so that is as close as I have ever got...

BTW, did not mean to get ya in trouble in the other thread!

Emerald Eyes

Black Hole Sun

I am multiple Ugo!!!

I am also independent....tough and have a great big heart

I think people see me as their cool sister or something because I am a great friend/ not hottie...I may not be someone's dream girl, but I love myself just fine

Okay,

All of my buddies know...Ya know I do Nature Photography, Skeet Shooting (Loooooove that) and Target Archery...adore the outdoors

No problem..

I have some friends who Hunt for their meat...they refuse to eat the Factory Farmed stuff...so they do not eat meat all the time and eat only certain kinds(Deer)..so they always ask me where to go...for Supplemental food.

BTW, you might want to be careful...somehow wild game have been catching a form of "Mad Cow" Disease (another sad outcome of factory farming)...so just be careful out there.

I dunno..probably found out they were hot and ran
