Your kindness and generosity has touched me ever since. Every time I walk by the bowl I smile. Thank you, you made my first craft fair as a vendor a joyous experience and I look forward to the next one and to seeing all of the lovely people I met that day. I am sorry to hear of this response you recieved. Isn't it a shame and ironic that thier craft is from feed bags. Shouldn't they be making something out of tofu boxes? thank you for making my holidays brighter. lhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917133528632772154.post-71596217892726274582008-12-21T12:34:00.000-05:002008-12-21T12:34:00.000-05:00Karin, the truth is there is no justification for ...Karin, the truth is there is no justification for their behavior.

I've experienced that with religious people and also vegans. <BR/><BR/>I try not to waste my energy on people like that and to spend my time enjoying the people who are a joy to be with no matter who they believe in or whether they eat turkey or tofu.<BR/><BR/>Good thing is, your bag will make someone happy :)magnusmoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847120014074323074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917133528632772154.post-35287386179677188052008-12-17T12:27:00.000-05:002008-12-17T12:27:00.000-05:00come to think of it, when i chatted with them they...come to think of it, when i chatted with them they looked at me as though i was a bad smell. it takes all kinds i suppose. it's important that there are people out there fighting for animal rights but how about be kind to fellow humans at the same time.leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389104736447466399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917133528632772154.post-84762871197819345222008-12-16T22:12:00.000-05:002008-12-16T22:12:00.000-05:00I understand that some folks have strong feelings ...I understand that some folks have strong feelings about their own beliefs, aned that is fine. But they have no right to impose those beliefs on others, and there is NO reason to be RUDE. I would have been thrilled and honored to have that beautiful bag. You offered it out of love and generosity from your heart. Whatever they did in return was their bad karma...I agree with Vivian...Don't they eat?Don't they know that plants have feelings too?

I have a whole long rant about how humans aren't designed to be vegetarians, and blah blah blah, and while I kind of understand the basic vegan point of view, I just... it bugs me. Or maybe it's that I don't have a problem with vegans, as in people who don't eat meat, dairy, or eggs, but I have a problem with Vegans, who tend to look down on people who do. <BR/><BR/>As you say; if you can't be nice to your fellow humans, what's the point in being nice to animals? And truly -- at this point, sheep have been bread to the point where NOT sheering them would be brutal and cruel. You want to be mad about it, go bug the breeders a couple hundred years ago. <BR/><BR/>I'll stop the rant now. I'm sorry they were mean to you. You did not deserve that. Sending you love. :)Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122684978861247275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917133528632772154.post-11036330504390586452008-12-16T08:31:00.000-05:002008-12-16T08:31:00.000-05:00You were kind and generous - that's all you can do...You were kind and generous - that's all you can do.

Wow. I'm stunned at the coldness of those people when you were trying to offer the best of yourself to them and their blindness towards being generously dealt with. Wow. <BR/><BR/>How I see it: they were living by what they fear--and thinking it made them morally superior, at the same time. <BR/><BR/>You were living by how you love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
