My eyes have been opened, there is a layer that I now see which is over the clothes you wear, but under your personality. It's clearly visible to me and disgusts and revolts me. There is hardly anyone without it, and maybe, I hope there are some with faded versions.
Each of us, including myself is covered with blood. As a child and until now I saw this only on those that wore furs, fluff wasn't cute, it signified a murder and the wearer flaunting the dead carcus about their shoulders. But now...now I see it expanded.
To all you animal lovers, kind and gentle people, to all those who would never hurt a fly...(myself included)...our ignorance has caused harm to what we love and adore, we are all covered in spilt animals blood and pain. You wouldn't even have noticed, neither did I.
The moment I was awakened to this, I broke down, sobbed that whole night thinking over and over what we have allowed to happen, that i allowed to happen with my ignorance. The pain and suffering with no response of aid or care. I depised what we are, what we became and I begged and pleaded just to say how very sorry I am, how responsible i feel and failed to uphold the "humane" in human.
We all need to wake up and take a stand, this is why I want you not to continue to close your eyes but open them with me, see what I see and begin a change. Not just for one thing, but something you can apply to everything.
Have you ever done any one of the following?
Eaten fast food?
Shopped at the bigger brand stores for food?
Bought something as its cheaper and more convenient?
Bought free range eggs without checking the small print?
Bought cheap leather shoes?
Own feather filled pillows?
Use make up, lotions or home cleaning products?
Through any one of these, you have spilt blood on yourself. You bought in to something that said its ok to make an animal suffer for us, that its ok to treat animals like a food commodity and not a live being, you have said its ok to leave them to suffer. Your's and mine, our inaction to avoid these things, to ignorantly say that it's fine to behave this way because it makes our lives easier, less to think about, prioritise costs and time over any moral value.
We all need to stop being led by these companies and governments into what they want us to follow unquestionly. Mine may have awakened due to animal treatment but this will apply to anything. Where are the moral choices...don't accept what you are given, you are the one who chooses to ignore the true costs...the stains on our souls. Company acceptable shortcuts, towards animals, people in the third world, environments and slave labour. Stand for what you believe and when your time ends you can stand there without the costs of lives on your soul, for you can never undo what you have done, only change what you are willing to bear and pay for on yourself. Don't pay for companies moral choices which you don't accept.
