Why I am not a vegan

[Aion]

Oh and having been both scratched and stabbed I can't say my reaction has been the same on a physical level but on an emotional level they are not very different. The difference wasn't the actual experience of suffering or pain, although sure one is more intense and nauseating, but in the context of the situation. The emotion I felt was not towards the suffering but towards the conditions of the situation and my ability to accept them.

However, I can say that I had very different emotion towards myself and this is more reflective to me of the experience of having compassion for those who realize the nature of the suffering of others.
