Me and my partner are very grateful that you spoke about the importance of veganism as a foundation in a compassionate lifestyle. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It is very difficult for us, as you said at the end of the video, to be compassionate as we feel the pain in the world and causes us sadness and even depression. We see perfectly nice and superficially kind people who choose to participate in animal consumption. This breaks our hearts and erodes our hopes for a kind loving future.

We feel the pain of the suffering of animals bred, enslaved, and killed for human pleasure and we feel powerless to change anything. Even simply bringing up the topic of veganism triggers people into rage or a multitude of illogical excuses to justify cruelty.

So thank you for validating the importance of not killing, particularly for those on a spiritual path. Which brings me to a final question, and please forgive me if it's too direct or personal, but we're wondering if you're vegan? And if not, why not?

Sorry for the moskito but i am leaving in area where moskito can transmit deadly diseases. When I see one I kill it and I know it may protect myself and people around me. There is no hate in me killing that moskito, I even usualy say something, sorry but you are not in the good place, nothing personal 😅. I think the intention is probably more important than the act itself?

It could be an act of compassion to kill that moskito to avoid someone to get killed by some disease he is carrying.
