My friend and I were discussing whether evil exists or whether it depends on your perception. Being vegan does make me wonder about it. Knowing the terrible things that are done to animals to provide us with food, it seems evil to continue to eat them when you are aware of their suffering, not to mention that the whole idea of raising creatures to eat is abhorrent. Especially when we discriminate between species as to what we are willing to eat and what we are not. Farmers often do not credit animals with emotions or even physical pain so they would not consider themselves evil. People have quoted the Bible to me that "God gave us animals to eat," and at the same time they pray to St Francis of Assisi.
Eckhart Tolle says that nobody acts inappropriately from their own point of view.
(Can we keep the Third Reich out of this?)
