Not in a great spot. My material needs are met, so don’t worry about that. Just want to break out of the cycle I’m in of “oh hey, you have only a few hundred from this paycheck before you’re negative again.”
No problem. You’re welcome.
Though, you do realise one of the reasons why the other person wasn’t answering your question is because it’s offensive to tokenise groups of people with a bad-faith question. At least, I wouldn’t answer in their shoes. The user provided the perspectives of holocaust survivors or their family members. Please read the compiled perspectives, but more crucially please urgently change your behaviour to the animals according to vegan ethics. You don’t need to know theory to know that killing innocent beings, our animal cousins, is wrong. You only need empathy and an empathetic (empathic?) response. You understand they suffer like us and want to live? And that their suffering at our hands and their desire to live are valuable for our decision-making? Then, we can act on that. The theory is an added treat, helping us to develop our understanding, but it is not crucial to make this change in behaviour. The theory can come after the switch, and can help develop your praxis.
