I am referring to the suffering of others, Not your own suffering. When you buy meat or dairy, you are supporting suffering.
I know what you meant Monica. I just thought it was silly because your whole world seems to revolve around negativity and suffering. I have better uses of my time. I don't make up a story in my head when I buy meat and dairy about how it did or did not come to be. And it doesn't bother me if you think I'm evil and misguided. It won't stop me from appreciating animal products any less.
I guess I'm just not as evolved as you. Someday though. *crosses fingers*

I didn't say anything of the sort. That was their bridge focus to the new place. A common practice for people is to get others to agree with them that they deserve something. That strengthens their belief. People usually need validation from others before they can believe in themselves. A quirk of human psychology.
