Life is beautiful.
Humanity's progressed and overcome challenges of survival
We've created beautiful art, music and films
We've achieved amazing sporting feats explored how our bodies function
And created machines with limitless power
We've designed tools to connect us to everything we could imagine
But in a world of limitless potential
we've allowed ourselves to become distracted
letting our minds become programmed and selling our lives away for convenience and
and in a busy world full of stress, pressure and competition
We've become disconnected
we no longer take the time to consider the impacts our choices have
We drown in distractions and we addict to things that help us escape
But beyond our habits, cultures and traditions and in spite of our busy lifestyles
There are hidden consequences to our carelessness and there are victims to our indifference
But it doesn't have to be this way
because we all have the choice to question what we do and look at the impacts they have
Right now all over the world animals are in trucks on their way to be systematically killed
Their lives have been treated as a product and everyone is addicted to eating them
We don't value their lives because they're different to us
And we believe that we need to eat them to be healthy
We've been told by adverts that they're treated with respect and that they don't suffer
So he grow up, never questioning this process
but in the cages and in the trucks on the dairy farms in the egg hatcheries in
the ocean and on the killing floor as
They're being led to their execution
they want to live
just like us
Doctors around the world are warning us that eating animal products is responsible for our leading killers
including heart disease cancer and type 2 diabetes
And environmentalists are reminding us that animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental destruction
But this information has been hidden from us
The companies that profit from animal agriculture rely on people's ignorance
Because most people don't want to think about the animals being killed and used for their food
The illusions created by the marketing help us feel comfortable
But should we really feel comfortable for what we're doing?
When people become vegan, we connect with the suffering and take the time to understand the process of raising animals for humans to use
The experience is shocking and leads to a journey of questioning the world and looking for a way to help
Our anger turns to passion and our confusion turns to logic
The process of changing old habits with more conscious choices leads to our own personal empowerment
We realize the difference we can make to ourselves in the world and overcome our previous fear
Veganism is a process of freeing our minds and empowering ourselves with information
The feeling is incredible
And rather than escaping from the things that hurt us
We seek to come closer and try to help
So in spite of resistance and opposition, we try to share the new things we've learned on our journey
We share the information we wish someone had told us sooner
Because everyone deserves to be empowered with the truth and to be given the opportunity
To change for the better
We share the information on behalf of the animals, who want to live, the Planet that wants to thrive
And with the understanding that plant-based nutrition can help the world to become healthier
Some vegans can be angry and impatient because they're desperate for the suffering to end
But we all just want to help
The world is changing and people are waking up
it's inevitable that more and more people will listen
and progress towards making more mindful choices
If you're watching this and you're vegan
Thank you
the positive choices you make help create a more beautiful world
And if you're watching this and you haven't changed, thank you for your open-mindedness
Through watching videos and choosing to expose yourself to more vegan information
You're beginning on a journey that will lead you to a lot of happiness.
I hope the existing vegans around you or online can help support you and empower you with the resources and knowledge
To take action upon the things you learn
Thank you for watching. I'll see you in the next video. Bye for now
