Death of the drama queen!

I can go on ranting about my passion for animals, my views on vegetarianism & so on... but I choose not to.
I'v argued, gotten angry, pissed off, quit speakin to people...etc etc...but i guess i finally put the drama queen inside me asleep.
There are 2 worlds of thought.... I can state a hundred facts about why we should all turn into vegetarians, and I can be faced with a volley of other facts justifying meat eating. I can quote a hundred people like Albert Einstein, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi n even John Abraham........ and again I might have to listen to zillions of quotes callin vegetarians people who eat side dishes. But in the end, all that matters is that I know deep down inside that I cannot change the world. and I cannot wish for all the meat eaters to vanish from the face of the earth... because its their very existence that my passion feeds on. I cant make a vegetarian a vegetarian can I? but i can try making a meat eater aware of his meat. {kindly see that I did not say that I can try makin a meat eater a vegetarian, I have said that i can make a meat eater aware of his meat...}
I would just like people to imbibe more compassion in their outlook towards animals. If you cannot give up meat, then please do not let the death of an animal for ur plate land into the dustbin. Dont say..oh my god this burger is too big! I just cant eat it. or leave those pieces of pepper chicken untouched just coz U ordered one too many!
I have quit arguing with people, I have learnt to let go. If anyone tries to logically talk me into eating meat, I retort with one quote by Taj Mihelich - " I don't think that I'm SO important, that an animal has to die everytime I want to eat!" The logistics about the rain forests, the population of the animals, the natural instinct of man n everything of that sort can go to hell! :)
Happy eating!!! :)
