To my friend @lordnigel,
This is the culmination of what we have talked about for so many years. It is not our intention to brainwash, to convince other people of topics we have held dear in our hearts for so many years. To provide background and context for all people that may read this post, we have been friends for over 20 years.
More to the point and this is so crucial, we have been allies in heart and mind. Its one thing to say you are friends with someone, but when you both identify that there are issues in the world that good people ignore, place in the 'too hard basket' or are not even aware of on any level that's where we feel that a voice is currently going unheard!
My greatest lament to date refers directly to one of my most hated and revered quotes. "For evil to flourish, it required good men to do nothing". (Simon Wiesenthal)
We often joke and say that if we won the lottery we would fund and develop our own animal conservation sanctuary/park. However when i spend a nano-second thinking about such a momentous scenario it does not help the parks that already are in desperate need of funding.
So the plan is this: to flag and raise issues across the continent than can benefit from forward and positive thinking. To raise awareness to the most dire situations where it is needed most. We dont intend to change the world but by the sweet sunrise of each morning, we aim to make each day better for each animal in its own circumstance. The first step to real equilibrium is not believing that we can take and kill without the balance being foremost in our minds. I may be harassed for saying this but its all about balance, whether your vegan, vegetarian or a carnivore that likes a little avocado, there is clearly a medium for both.
Make no mistake, were not judging a persons dietary choices , we are just highlighting the practice of animal manufacture for the human market, and what we can do to change it. "I really want a burger, but i don't want to meet the cow that made it."
Question 1: How would i know a spell was upon me? Ask me to carry out an action against everything i stand for.... if i did such act i would be spellbound
Question 2: Similar to the matrix - if i cant even identify my own reality, whats the point of being alive?
Hey mate, I think this is going to be a great way to share thoughts and spread a positive message (plus learn a few extra thing about each other in the process).
I look forward to AnimalMomentium #2, proceed when ready bro!
