How fast it fades
Just 2 weeks ago, I watched a documentary film about a dairy cow named Luma.
In it, I saw torture, evil, and suffering.
But already, I'm like "Are cows really suffering?" and starting to spin it in my mind, about how it's not so bad, maybe they have good lives, maybe it's all not so bad.
It is so bad. But keeping my heart & mind in tune with that is feeling almost impossible.
I've been wondering how people can be so detached, and so willing to participate in such cruelty, so unwilling to even learn about it.
But perhaps I need to look inward, as for most my life I was willing to participate, to turn a blind eye, and already I'm finding myself emotionally detached from it and half-ready to justify it. Being a human is weird.
