How nice that in your culture they see veganism as a philosophy of life and not as a fashion; this is precisely how I see it, being compassionate with animals and with Mother Earth.
I know well that we cannot force others to be vegan, but I believe that by doing our job to spread this way of life, we can make some people aware of it every day.
Everything is a personal process that has its own rhythm and time.
A big hug.
