That particular turkey will surely get eaten by others, in the form of leftovers. Maybe some will end up being fed to the dogs. But by making a stand, we raise awareness, and that awareness ripples out, and thus we help reduce the number of turkeys killed over time. Simple cause and effect. Plus, we help create a reality in which cruelty is no longer manifest. Choices count.
Yet in desiring to have this darkness to transmute, you also create this reality where it was manifested in the first place. Choices indeed do count and the cause and effect goes more deeply than what is apparent.
How could there even be light, if there was no darkness to make the light look brightful.
