It is sometimes hard to know what to write about, yet one feels compelled to write at times, to share a thought, insight, opinion however trivial, (or tainted with personal propaganda it is.)Perceptions and opinions rule us all. They are a product of our upbringing, culture and influences. Are we really independent then? Or merely shaped by a mould? Perhaps we give ourselves too much credit when we think we have acted in an independent rational manner, after all lagging behind some of our lofty ideals is a fallible human being.
If you looked at the website I posted yesterday, what did you think? The image of a dog who had had all its paws cut off by an irate neighbor. An army of militant vegans ready to take on the establishment. To some it would be an appealing image, much the opposite to others. The march of science in the name of progress and a countless amount of life lost and tortured along the way. One must not neglect the benefit testing has had for humans either. What must then be determined is if products are essential or if they are not, cosmetics out, medications stay, if one believes one type of life is worth more than another. After all is that not just another view we have inherited from our culture?
