There are people who disagree with my stance on animal rights, veganism and environmentalism.
I believe animals should not be harmed for selfish reasons, and that there are benefits to everyone when avoiding animals products.
But I do not discriminate against my own friends and family. You cannot hate people for their own good.
Whatever reaction I get from people, negative, positive or passive. They at least have an opinion.
But, we are not better or worse than eachother. I am not holy because I am vegan, you are not smarter for eating meat and killing baby octopuses.
It's really sad when people who disagree decide to take out their frustration. I have been called many things by really rude people, people who lack grace.
But to be insulted by someone I once looked up to? I now see that they must be fighting their own demon. I cannot hate her like she hates everyone. I cannot waste my time with all of this cynical loathing.
There is too much passion and love inside of my spirit, it has been suffocating with the loathing that is forced upon our culture.
I look upon the world, its potential. I look upon it in wonder. Still holding its secrets, I will follow my own path.

I can't stand people with "my way or the highway" attitudes. Not everyone can afford to be vegan, not everyone can physically cut meat and animal by-products completely out of their diets, etc. etc. And some people just choose not to, but like you said, this does not make one person better than the other.
mdw:
That was well written.
