So I spent the day drooling over neutrinos with this song stuck in my head. I also had a major pitfall in my vegan practices, which have been very shaky lately in light of all the upcoming and still very tenuous life changes. I ate half of a small chain-restaurant pizza with my work helper today, an act that as I saw it, resolved that I would no longer be vegan, but only vegetarian until things settle down. Then the universe both chastened and enlightened me through the usual vessel, NPR, with a story on Martin Litton, a Grand Canyon conservationist who died Sunday. Included was a sound bite of him saying, to compromise is to lose. When you’re willing to compromise your principles youve given up. You abandon them. When you compromise nature, nature gets compromised. I often say when prodded about my future worldview, I do not have many life goals, but the ones I do have are my life, and I have horrendously backpedaled in one very close to me. It really feels like Ive hit rock-bottom in this and using momentary anxiety is no excuse to look away from my convictions. I will continue to practice veganism but I dont think, because of this, I can call myself vegan until the resolve has returned in full. I dont expect anyone to understand but I feel terrible about this. Good song though.
