Compassion is my Co-Pilot

During a forum debate several weeks ago on the pros and cons of vegetarianism, a lone vegetarian provided a well-reasoned and brave argument amidst criticism and hatred. He calmly explained that he wasn’t trying to convert anyone, and he didn’t think he was better than anyone. He simply did not wish to eat meat. Prejudice was his reward, as hundreds of forum posters heaped scorn on him for his beliefs.

I was one of them. Man, it was hilarious.
