A Battle

People have eaten meat for many centuries. I don’t think that they will be completely comfortable with a sudden and drastic change in eating habits. I don’t think people are going to even “want” to change their perception, unless there is a great incentive, a trade-off that can surpass their sacrifice, a constant battle against a nature that resists change, to embrace a new lifestyle that threatens their present state of reality.

As an imperfect species, I think it is human nature to cling to old beliefs, mindsets, thought-patterns, rather than embrace the new. I don’t think human nature can be totally changed, but I believe that humans can train themselves to change their way of thinking and approaching things. I believe it is possible to transform one’s mind but it requires a conscious effort to daily rid oneself of pre-conceived notions, mind-sets, and other hindrances that block our road to a clearer, broader perspective of life’s daily activities.
