I am an animal

I really shouldn't try to care about things that mean little to me, it only makes me a weaker person in the end.
Because I have to give up, I hate myself for it, but I do it never the less.
And my friend will be so disappointed and I shouldn't let that get me down, but it does.
I'm too afraid to tell her so I can only hope that she will read this.

Sure, I care about animal cruelty, but if an animal hasn't been treated badly then I can eat it if I damn well please.
I am just another animal, I have my place in the food chain, I'm not going to pretend that I am above everything else, there would be lots of things happy to eat me given the chance.
It's quite pretentious isn't it? Vegetarianism.
It's kind of like religion
A get out of jail free card
'Oh, it doesn't matter if I do this because I'm a vegetarian/christian/Muslim etc'
I sure am feeling spiteful today and I apologise for that

Some of my friends were talking about Christianity at lunch the other day, so I got up and left.
I don't want to hear their opinions on the corruption of the catholic church, I don't want to hear their opinions on anything 'deep and meaningful', it means shit all to me.
Their words are shallow, I can tell they don't mean what they say, they just want to sound intellectual.
