thanks as always for your wise and compassionate words! and for the optimism today!
love it, and i love this in particular:
"We are often told that the explanation for this unbelievable disconnect between what people feel about animals and what they do, or pay others to do, is “cognitive dissonance.” If I understand it correctly, this means that when you believe two things that can’t exist at the same time — 'I love animals, I love meat' — you bury one of them deep in your consciousness until it disappears.
But, and here is the key thing: it doesn’t actually disappear."
