Gifts...

[catherine]

Here is a question to make us think:

Let's say I was a Hindu vegetarian and my dad gave me a stack of bloody T-bone beef steaks. Would you still say: "look at your dad and his gift in a spirit of love and permission to be who he is and not who you want him to be, and the details will work themselves out."?

You're sensationalizing a little flashlight (huge stack of bloody T-bones).

When I was a strict vegetarian my mother-in-law made me bacon. I simply said "Thanks very much for making this for me, but I consider bacon to be an animal product, so I can't eat it." When she passed the stew, I passed it along to the person sitting next to me.

It doesn't have to be a struggle unless you choose to make it one.

As for the "evidence," you are refusing to even partake in the experiment. You want to see the steam but you won't turn on the heat.
