Recently I became inspired by a woman's words. She said:

> *We should all be vegan because it's merciful and no one can argue against mercy.*

And I thought to myself, "Damn, that's a good point." How could I argue against that? How could we argue against that? Do we say, "Mercy sucks! Boo!"? Now I clearly see one of the fundamental pieces to not harm and eat animals, even when people still exist who believe the marketing lies telling them that animal consumption is necessary.

## Veganism is about mercy.

Recently a friend and I went on a kayak trip together. We were looking for food, and nearby there was a sand bar and possibly coconut trees even closer. I was fixated on grabbing as many sexy coconuts as possible. We stopped on this beautiful sand bar, where we witnessed so many different life forms enjoying themselves.

There were little crabs, conks, little fishes swimming, sand dollars, and I believe also star fish. We looked at the crabs and conks together, and he showed mercy the crabs and conks: he let them go instead of keeping them for a fire meal later. I was proud of him for this and happy that he had such a good connection to his heart still.

My motivation lately is the word "mercy", and it is my wish that it will inspire you, too :)
