I have recently been feeling very strange about having non-vegan family members. I hold strong biological bonds with them, but I then recognize them as having morally questionable lifestyles and ideologies. Do you experience this same kind of conflict? How would you recommend dealing with it?

Re: Internal Conflict
This video deals with it pretty well:

Basically, I've come to the conclusion (as the maker of this video has) that my family and friends are not bad people; they're just doing bad things. Even if I'm not completely right on this, it holds up in my mind and that keeps me from resenting other people.

Re: Internal Conflict
^Thank you so much. That makes a lot of sense. I will try my best to apply this to my day to day life.
