IS it good or bad?<br /><br />Amy BG - Please don't think that I am down on quiet examples - I've tried to be one my whole life, but I do these things I do because I want to see the world change, and in my nearly 15+ years of being a quiet vegetarian/vegan, I feel I have only had a notieceable effect on one person, in terms of moving them towards making a change in their own life. Linda, on the other hand, who has been vegan only for a few years, puts herself out there more and really engages people, and she has already gotten a few people to think abmake a change or at least think about it. I don't want to be one preachy, but at the same time, I want to have more confidence in my position and be able to project how wonderful it can be.<br /><br />Amy LV - I agree, it does take all kinds - I've just been one kind for a long time and another kind is getting restless, maybe even impatient, wanting to come out. And I'm glad I got you thnking - that's one!Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886443968740543025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850994802687070206.post-58762155011846797262011-03-28T19:12:24.076-04:002011-03-28T19:12:24.076-04:00What a thoughtful post...on so many levels. I do ...What a thoughtful post...on so many levels. I do agree with Amy that a quiet person can change others by example. At the same time, if your voice wants to be louder, the world can always use more powerful voices on the side of good.<br /><br />Now, about that photo. I LOVE this picture! Violet has the most curious look on her face, as if to say, "I'm surrounded!"<br /><br />As a person with both indoor and outdoor cats, I have some thinking to do.<br /><br />A.Amy L Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830987204619914326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850994802687070206.post-68141067591659837982011-03-27T21:15:42.662-04:002011-03-27T21:15:42.662-04:00But there IS something to be said about the person...But there IS something to be said about the person who quietly goes about their own business of living according to their beliefs. Here are two stories that immediately come to mind:<br /><br />STORY #1: After several years of watching me hang laundry, Rob started doing so as well, and he thnaked me for NOT trying to convince him to do it so that he could come to the same decision on his own terms.<br /><br />STORY#2: My first year of teaching in fifth grade, one of my students was a quiet, sweet girl who played by herself at recess for many weeks, and I started to wonder if and how I should intervene. I never did, and soon after, other good-natured girls started to gravitate to her and her gentle ways.<br /><br /><br />That being said, the world needs all types, the vocal promoters and the quiet examples. They are both powerful, I suppose.<br /><br />I could go on for hours about a whole host of things your post makes me think about!Amy BGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798479131474759065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850994802687070206.post-73690729611888247182011-03-27T21:08:18.556-04:002011-03-27T21:08:18.556-04:00Aho!Aho!MJhttp://oakmossed.comnoreply@blogger.com
