The Vegan Issue

The vast majority of people, in fact maybe even all people, have failed to ever think with enough insight about the world, as to generally make decisions that are ethical and moral. To them, effects on the world are practically or even literally invisible: this what I've considered as arrogance. Using animal products is not exactly about people being unethical to animals: it can come close to a perfectly valid explanation but it's not strictly perfect. Instead, the issue of non vegans is that most, if not all of them, don't think so much before doing things, and in this case, selecting materials to use for products or making food choices. In other words, it's not always that non vegans are unethical to animals directly or indirectly, but instead it's about the choices that they make, which are driven by impulse and lack of much thought. Many, or all of us, are from a country in which using or consuming animal products is normal. Being accustomed to animal products in a country that doesn't harm animals might seem moral initially, but that should only be the case when you are relatively young and taught strict tradition. People who are accustomed to animal products can easily be fooled to use animal products in a way to them that's indirectly unethical. Non veganism is essentially a form of obsession, in which the people can become more obsessed over time, and whether you realize it or not, such a form of obsession can make people destroy the environment because the want is something that no longer become something that is simply needed, but something that is worth destroying the environment for. A change of politics or change of country in which one lives, one that can favor animal cruelty, can easily make a non vegan a destructive person indirectly, and since so much of us are non vegans and think that we need animal products and as a result have this lust for them, we would likely (and generally), without realizing it, be indirectly supporting animal abuse. Even though we probably don't realize it, we essentially already potentially do support animal abuse in our minds, even though it's indirect, and all it takes for the potential to become reality is a change of the situation in our country's politics and/or our own relocation to another country. With different politics, ones that might allow for animal abuse, we aren't such ethical people as we seem, because our reliance on animal products in what seemed like an "ethical" world initially has made us lust for animal products so much that we "need" them.
