The successful activist

Today I re-read a blog post by "E's Gone Vegan". I wish I would have re-read this a couple weeks ago in the height of my stressing out. Esp the comments.

It's good to know that successful activists (or just successful vegans in general) have felt the raging anger I have, and have learned to contain it and live happy. I am feeling much better these past few weeks and I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I've surrounded myself with friends who understand. They may not feel the same way, actually most of them do not want to know the truths because they know it sucks so they haven't had the chance to feel the same way... but they get it and they don't crack jokes on my (well, our) expense or get all defensive just at the mere mention of animal suffering. There has even been some discussion about it all that's been instigated by them, not us. The time I've spent with friends in the past few weeks has been rejuvinating. It's lead me back to feel what I have always known to be true, and that is the best thing I can do is be the change I want to see in this world.

OK. here's the blog posting I mentioned. E's Gone Vegan: The successful activist isn't even active?
