It is not uncommon for us vegetarians, animal rights activists to be accused of presumption and ostentatious moral superiority, to feel better than others, by some people when they are convinced of their omnivorous, suffer feelings of guilt in indirectly because of the suffering inflicted on the animals that eat their back or in the form of skins and furs.
To understand what it means to be best necessary to establish a reference point objective, a comparison considered more fair and beneficial to the common good, for the evolutionary process civil, moral and spiritual individual. If being the best means to cause the least harm, be more respectful of the rules and in harmony with our natural environment, then it is true, we feel better. Although
between white and black, as between day and night, there are infinite shades in between
say that in this life there is no better or worse as to equate Jesus to Judas Iscariot, as saying that the property has the same value of evil, the virtuous man who has the same merits of the scoundrel.
Between a man addicted to theft and an honest man has no doubts as to indicate the
second best. Among
who commits his time to care only about his problems and he spends most of his life and its human and financial resources to help those suffering, it is definitely better.
between an individual sensitive to pain and death of a fellow and one for human sensitivity and his sense of justice is also the suffering of any creature that does not belong to its species, it is definitely better. Among those who
has a conscience can stick electrodes in the brain of a cat to study the reactions and the one who considers this an abomination, surely it is better.
Among those who believe just brutally kill a fox, a mink or rabbit
to wrest the only skin and then make these wretched bodies of food for other animals and those who believe this a monstrosity, this is definitely better.
Try prove otherwise, there is evidence to show that the two in question have the same moral values, the same sense of justice, the same sensitivity to human intelligence itself positive.
Try to show that in these respects we universal-animal-vegetarians are like the others and perhaps convince us not to be better. If we feel better because we share more universal suffering, then we have the presumption to feel better than those who felt only the pain of his fellows.
But the presumption is not part of our vision of things or gratifies us look "better" or more sage.
We are virtuous people, who love non-violence, justice that we would like to extend our family films. We are more sensitive it is true, have a wider perception of freedom and justice, respect for which he is entitled by natural law, every living being to simply because they exist.
We strive for the growth of man, the wealth of
's fundamental values.
We know that a tree does not grow in one day, we know that each one for an infinite circumstances of a social and cultural rights, belongs to his developmental level, we know that all great innovations known three stages: ridicule, then considered and finally sharing.
