Speak up!

"The world suffers a lot... Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people."  Napoleon

In a society of meat eaters it is often challenging to be vegan.

People ask questions, make uneducated statements and attack when they feel uncomfortable.

This often results in the 'silence' Napoleon speaks of.

Rather than feel intimidated, I have decided to educate myself enough to stand up for what is right.

This does not necessarily mean that I need to know all the facts and figures, but rather have the confidence not to crumble under pressure when probed by others. 

Confidence is powerful in discussions, and seeming flustered and anxious will only weaken the cause.

So I say, speak up... for those who can't.
