Compassion Is the Heart of Veganism
Veganism is not a diet. It is a response to suffering. When we choose not to eat, wear, or exploit animals, we are practicing compassion in action. The quote, “Veganism meets suffering with compassion,” captures the essence of this movement. It is about seeing pain and choosing empathy over indifference. In a world where cruelty is normalized, veganism offers a peaceful alternative. It does not ask for perfection, only for kindness.
From farmed animals to caged birds, every life matters. This simple shift in perspective creates a ripple effect that softens hearts and opens minds. In choosing compassion, we transform ourselves and the world around us. That is the quiet power of veganism.
"It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done." (-Harriet Beecher Stowe)
Why would anyone support the strong over the weak? The strong are the privileged in our society. Adoring and worshipping the strong says much about their own immorality and cowardice. They are accessories to cruelty. Hopefully, it's not too late for them.
