For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.

I see bad stuff on the street all the time that I don't do anything about. I do bad stuff myself all the time. The goal is not to somehow be perfect - that's silly, that's naive. The goal is to just recognize there are choices in front of us, and to try to make better ones.

I have made my own choice, which is vegetarianism, but it's not the choice I'm imposing on anybody else.
