Last night I dreamt some dude (who I will call Tom for now) and I got hired to explore a strange forest where a woman's sister and nephew got lost. The deeper we got, the less hope we had and the forest seemed to clos in on us, getting darker and scarier. Eventually, we stopped by this old tree with a strange ring in the middle. A voice told me to start thinking about the good things and I did. Soon enough, the forest became brighter and we found the missing sister, but the child was acting weird. She led us deep into the forest, explaining that she's been looking for a way out. The forest changes like a maze. But the more Tom and I went in with her and the nephew, the harder it was to breathe. Eventually, the nephew kept getting stranger and stranger, glitching out all creepily. THEN WE FIND THE FRIGGIN' CORPSES OF THE SISTER AND THE NEPHEW IN THE CENTER OF THE FOREST. PLOT TWIST! THE FOREST IS ACTUALLY UNDERWATER AND FEEDS OFF NEGATIVE ENERGIES TO SURVIVE. The only reason why Tom and I found out is because a voice whispered to us to find the truth and I begged to see the truth. The positive energy allowed us to see the truth. The sister and nephew become horrible tree monsters and try attacking us. But Tom and I manage to escape and swim back to the surface.

Then we stumbled through a door that took us to Target.

I might write a story about that..

Veganism Rant #16

Power. Change. You. Do you ever look at those people on instagram and admire their feat of helping 500 orphans find shelter or rescuing 10 dogs from a fire? And you think to yourself " I will never be able to do that, it's too hard, I'm not capable" What if I told you that, You have the power to make the change? Just today, for one meal, have you chose to eat a cruelty free meal. You would have saved at least 1 life, o1 life worth of suffering, you would have set that animal free to have never experienced pain and suffering. Just ONE meal, now think of how many meals you have in a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade, a lifetime. Moreover, thats jus assuming you eat a minimum of one animal a meal, but i'm sure we have much more variety than just a chicken breast, we may have some beef stir fry here, and a plate of chicken nuggets to go with it. All you need to do, is to point at another dish, one that is cruelty-free, just ONE meal that a life did not have to be lost for. You HAVE the power to save so many lives, may it be one meal a day or year. You still made a difference in this world, you chose to let that baby lamb live, to have a chance at life. So use that power, acknowledge the fact that you can do so much, it doesn't require much effort to make a great difference, all you need is a good will!!! :D

In the end, who’s the one saving thousands of lives/ living longer/ looking better/ feeling amazing/ being aware of my actions/ not being an ignorant prick/ saving money/ minimizing their carbon footprint ?

Me, not you.

So no matter what you say, I’m still the winning party here.

You’re very welcome and goodnight.

“ You’re being biased” “you’re sources are biased” “stop lying” “its a belief”

- regarding health of the absence of meat

No I’m not biased, I once like you, i LOVED meat. I love my chicken nuggets, steamed fish, and especially my seafood! So why would i think of even freaking giving this up.

Let me tell you this, I was CONVINCED meat was necessary for my health in the first few months of turning vegetarian. No shit, i thought i was going to die 20 years earlier and develop 9999 deficiencies in less than a year. Yet i chose to continue this diet because I was and am willing to sacrifice any percentage of my life (yes even 100%) if it means saving another, needless to say thousands and millions even. But point was that i was like you, i thought i would die without meat because my body NEEDED meat.

You know whats ironic? all these sites i was reading from were the biased ones, the first thing that popped up when i searched is meat good for you was just a long list of websites for body building and encouraging meat for all. So i did my more readings, i did my fair share of readings for both sides of the argument.

Let me tell you that, there is absolutely 0 reason you should eat meat for your health, everything you need are in plants, all the shit about b12 and protein are incomplete and dont tell you the truth and other side of the story. Go read up both sides for yourself and you’ll realise how much more logical the argument for no meat is.

Thus, i’ve started to give a shit about my health, and realise my choice was anything but bad for me. There are only benefits that i’ve experiencing, from physical, mental, emotional to spiritual health. As well as, cut down in expenditure, higher awareness, and just overall satisfaction. The only remotely bad thing, is that it isnt as convenient as a non-vegetarian eater, and that you face fucking reality and realise how ugly the world is on one side.

Veganism Rant #13

Wtf. Just because my beliefs are different from yours, doesnt mean its not okay to express my views of certain things based from my belief.

Just to give yall a scenario, if I’m eating with my friends, and their fried chicken arrives and they say “this smells damn good, cant wait to eat it” its perfectly okay. But if i say “gross” its “forcing my beliefs on people” “wrong” “disrespectful” “rude” and generally has a negative impact on how these people view me. So apparently to you, i have to respect your choices, but its okay if you dont respect mine.

What about religious people who widely share about their religious beliefs online or to people. Many of my Christian friends often have a quote from the Bible in one of their social media posts, or they say “God Bless” to non-christian friends when they are down even. Yet it isnt seen as “forcing their beliefs onto someone” it is instead seen as “devotion” “love and loyalty” basically a positive impression onto people. Even if people do not agree with a persons religion, they don’t say anythjng if a person expresses his or her opinion on something based on her religious beliefs, because its a “sensitive” topic.

Well 1. If religion , which is a belief, is counted as sensitive, shouldn’t my belief in not harming animals be sensitive as well?

2. If you choose to treat me in such a manner of disrespect, don’t you dare say i’m in the wrong the next time i say you’re “forcing your beliefs” when you say “yummy” at the sight of cooked meat.

Honestly, sometimes I just want to say im Vegan because of religious reasons so people shut the fuck up.

Veganism Rant #12

"There's no difference even if i go vegan, animals will still be slaughtered everyday. The world will never go vegan." OMG this is one of the STUPIDEST statements ever. lemme just put this in diff scenarios for you okay. " There's no difference even if I stop supporting racism, people of colour will still be discriminated against everyday." "There's no difference even if I start supporting gay rights, people of the LGBTQ community will still be discriminated against everyday." I can go on and on but I hope you see the picture now. If every piece of paper said they weren't going to matter, there will never be books, or libraries. If everyone said they weren't going to make a difference, well damn right the world will continue being filled with filthy humans and disasters. Every animal is a life and each life counts. Change will never come, YOU are the change. Start now.

Veganism Rant #11

“I’m against animal abuse”

YOU are against animal abuse?

You mean animals as in pigs, cows, chickens, deer, and heaven knows what other innocent creatures you eat? THOSE animals?

If you are SUCH an anti animal-abuse human,

How come you PAY people to sear the beaks of baby chicks so they dont peck each other to death when they become insane from confinement?

How come you PAY people to cut of the tails and ears of baby pigs with no anesthesia, no medical treatment, no sterile equipment?

How come you PAY people to strip the young of a mother cow away from her, where she’ll never see or feel her beloved child ever and have her utters sucked inside out?

Don’t fucking say you’re an animal lover, if you have the heart to pay anyone to do the dirty work for you, if you’re an ignorant hypocrite who doesn’t deserve the right to say you’re against animal abuse.

Get your english right, animals include all sentient beings on mother Earth. Those mosquitoes you killed a while ago? Guess what, thats a fucking animal too.

So unless you don’t kill flies, you don’t stomp on ants intentionally, you don’t abuse or support the abuse of any animal, farm or domestic. Don’t you dare say you’re against animal abuse.

Veganism Rant #10

All lives are priceless Do you agree? If you do, that you believe all lives are priceless, that a price cannot label a life. I ask you, why do we label $6 on a fish for? Each life has a price to humans. A pound of life for $7, a slice of life for $2, a kg of life for $10. We measure importance of a life with a number, although we say we don't. Are lives meant to be bought. "2 lives for $10 please!". Is that how it is now. Don't tell someone that everyone deserves to live, when someone is suicidal, don't say each life is precious. To all of you its not. Labelling lives with numbers, thinking they are less deserving of a chance to live, yet proclaiming to preach that all lives are priceless. That, is hypocritical.

Choices

I am expected to respect other people’s choices. Their choice to wear jeans. To be a doctor. To eat meat. To kill animals. To be ignorant.

If I’m expected to respect other people’s choice to kill animals and eat them. Then I expect all of them to respect pedophiles, rapists, bullies, abusers, racists, homophobes, murderers and more for their choice to do what they have done, to believe in what they believe.

Let them continue to abuse their children, it is their CHOICE. Let them continue to rape men and women, it is their CHOICE. Let them continue to discriminate against other ethnicities, it is their CHOICE.

So don’t tell me to respect your choices, to sit by and watch you strip away one life after another every second. Unless you can sit by and watch innocents being ruthlessly killed in front of your very eyes.

I can’t respect your choices if you can’t respect theirs.

Veganism Rant #8

If there was a world where everyone ate humans, would you enter any diner?

“Let’s go for Korean bbq!” Sure I would say, i’m not hungry, you guys eat. And I would sit there trying to ignore the stench of sizzling flesh, the juice glistening on their lips like it was so tantalising.

“Are you okay?” Yeah, of course I am, eat more :) No i’m not okay.

If there was a world where everyone ate humans, would you feel comfortable sitting in a room full of sizzling flesh and the sound of lips smacking?

Many of you would say i’m weird, abnormal, overly sensitive.

If only you tried to see the world through my eyes. If you saw a life as significant and important as any human in all animals.

Then, you would never step into a diner.

Veganism Rant #7

Many people LOVE animals, they adore dogs, hamsters, cats, rabbits, horses and many other domestic or exotic pets. They treat them like family, and love them as a life.

Yet somehow this differs from cows, pigs, chicken and other animals grown to be brutally murdered.

I need someone to tell me how they differ. Is it because of the colour, size, smell, what is it? And people love calfs, piglets, chicks. They aww at the sight of them, and would protect them if they are threatened.

SOMEHOW that thought and need to protect changes into a need to kill and eat them as they become bigger and mature into adults.

It absolutely disgusts me at how humankind judges the importance of a life by how adorable it looks?

Im utterly amazed at the ridiculousness of humankind.

Veganism Rant #6

The way I regard meat eating, is the same way people regard cannibalism.

I don’t want to regard a cockroach who is seeking shelter after its home has been disturbed by construction sites as a PEST. I won’t regard an ant as someone to bully and a life to play with just because i’m physically stronger than it.

All lives are lives regardless of colour as many of us would say. So why does shape and size make it an exception?

Veganism Rant #5

When I ask people to watch Earthlings or just read up about how their meat comes from. I am NOT forcing anyone to be vegan, it's not like i'm shoving vegetables down their throat and condemning them to hell for eating meat. No. All I truly want is for them to know the truth. If they know exactly what they are contributing and supporting by eating meat and animal products. Then okay, go ahead and continue using and consuming animal products. But I can't stand the fact that people don't know that they are causing such harmful things. If everyone knew, then maybe 5% or even 0.1% of people will turn vegan, or reduce animal product consumption. What if people actually regret their meat eating decisions. If they knew earlier, less animals would have suffered and died due to the ignorance of mankind. So please, all I ask is for everyone to seek the truth. Aren't you all curious at all?

Veganism Rant #4

I don’t want to think that my friends are ‘bad’ people.

But I can’t help but feel that way.

A person knowing that putting that piece of meat in their mouth required immense torture and a loss of an innocent life, continues to consume the meat happily.

If this is okay, I don’t know what to say.

Sure people say it’s a choice. We should respect them.

Well would you respect my choice of choosing to rob, murder people, abuse my family, bully my peers? No right? You would stop me because i’m inflicting pain and robbing people of human rights.

So how does torturing an animal, stripping all rights from them, slitting their peers throats in front of them and ultimately killing them for the sake of human greed any different?

I don’t want to say to my friends or people around me, “You’re a bad person, for knowing the truth and not taking action.” I don’t want to believe it.

But how can I not when the truth is laid out so clearly for me.

There’s more suffering in an ice cream cone than a piece of meat.

“Oh, i’m definitely against animal abuse” she said as she sliced a chunk of steak and popped it into her mouth.
