Waste of Time

[Guest guest]

" We're all going to die anyway so whay not die happy? "

I have heard it all, in my 60+ years. Over 20 of those years as a

Vegetarian.

People say the same things about wearing seat belts, cigarette smoking,

drug/alcohol abuse, being obese,sun bathing(burning),un-protected sex,

etc., etc, etc.

Time for all of us to take responsibility for our own actions.

We create our own lifestyles and reality.

The choice is ours..

Sending smiles and hugs

Yes the choice is ours. I am trying to build a healthier lifestyle

for myself amd my family. Am beginning to think the waste of time is

in talking to brick walls.

Debbie,

Congratulations on creating a healthier lifestyle for you and your

family. You may never know how many you might influence along your

life journey.

I never try to 'convert' anyone for any reason. It is my belief that

everyone is at their own level of understanding. If I'm asked I

explain why I am a Vegetarian, but I have found that many times the

person asking wants to argue and I have no time for that in my life.

I also try to keep an open mind and listen. We never know when a

Karmic message might very well be brought to our attention . I have

been known to " change my other mind " (as a friend often says). LOL

Sending smiles and hugs your way

It's funny over the years I hardly ever have anyone

try to argue with me.

They are usually curious, want to taste my lunch, etc.

I have had a few people reply with a little joke but

I might give them a laser eye look so they stop.

I did experience a very rude man when I placed my

order at Behihana last year, he pushed me to the edge

matter of fact, I told him look there are 8 of us

seated at this table for the next hour and we can make

this pleasant. I don't care what you eat so you don't

have to be concerned about my order I just placed.

It's your choice to drink a full bottle of sake before

your meal. He shut up instantly and never said

another word, ate 1/2 his meal and took the balance to

go.

Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen

Warm my mind near your gentle stove

Turn me out and I'll wander baby

Stumblin' in the neon groves

Not really trying to convert anyone. Just trying to eat in peace.

Would rather set a quiet example.

Yes, I guess it sounded as if I talked to them more than I have. I

guess I was a little astounded last week when I was asked about a

book I was reading (John Robbins- Healthy at 100) and the response

was it was a waste of time. Will just continue eating the same way

and reading. I've never told them what I think of their choices but

I think they know I wouldn't eat it.
