The best we can do is strive to minimize the amount of harm we cause by living. We need to eat in order to live, and there is no moral or ethical code that dictates that we should refrain from eating and allow ourselves to die for some higher purpose.

Be confident in yourself, in your abilities, and in your goals. Then go for it.

Create the kind of world you want to live in by how you treat others now.

Eating a vegetarian diet can contribute more to saving ourselves and the planet than any other single effort.

How we treat others will determine how others treat us, and how others treat us will determine who we are.

If we weren't so dirt-conscious, we would obtain adequate vitamin B12 from soil, air, water, and bacteria, but we meticulously wash and peel our vegetables now - and with good reason, as we can't be sure our soil is not contaminated with pesticides and herbicides.

Inspiration pushes me out of my tight intellectual comfort zone and into humility, the wonderous state of not knowing. From this place of zero, limitless possibilities seem to arise.
