It seems like everyday the public conversation gets increasingly divisive.... whether animal welfare, human health, or political division, we all seem to approach it with an infallible tone of correctness... but no matter the side you fall on, it is likely at least in part a consequence of the environment and influences you've been surrounded by. No matter how noble our attempts to establish common ground of ethical compassion, we do so at the sacrifice of understanding or empathy for opposing beliefs.

As hard as it may be, I choose to judge people based on THEIR principles not my own. If there's an inherent conflict in your values and your action, I would be transparent in saying so. If not, then you are likely who I would be if born to the same parents, with the same genetics, in the same environment, surrounded by the same influences.

Perhaps look inside with a relentless sense of curiosity - ask yourself WHY, then WHY, then why again.

I think we'll find there is more pulling us together than the story of difference pushing us apart. Choose to think for yourself or someone else will for you, ultimately ...
