Nope - I push the thought to the dark corners of my mind and try to get on with it.

I know it's the morally wrong thing to do, and I think with time, we'll be looked back upon as savages, but here I am.

I've been vegetarian before, and will likely go back to it soon, but in the meantime, I'm complicit in that suffering out of convenience.

I wish we'd just move past meat and normalise plant-based foods, but just like selfish convenience drives me to do the wrong thing, profit and general selfishness drives society broadly to do the wrong thing.

What do you need to live aligned with your values? You don't need to answer me, I just want to encourage you to go in that direction. I think it feels much better for yourself and for people around you if values align with practice.

I totally agree - the main obstacle is laziness to be honest, though there's other factors in my living situation that are currently out of my control, making it more difficult.
